Hi guys I need a little help
Just been playing in a 6 max tourney. I had 11 bbs and was on the bb. Every player limped into me so I thought to myself there's a lot of chips in that pot and pushed all in with KJ Suited. utg called my all in for most of his/her stack and then the button re-raised. utg called so now all in. I thought o damn Ive dropped a clanger here. Utg shows pocket 7s and the button shows pocket 8s. button hits an 8 on the flop Game over.
What i would like to know is did I play this right?
Are these two players just donks? or did they make the right play, limping and calling my all in. Im certain that If I was in the situation and limped with pocket 7s and someone shoves for most my stack i will fold. Should I fold?

It depends. 11 bb is a good amount to shove here with lots of dead money in the pot. I think it's a shove. Those hands your opp called with are the hands you wanted to see.

I think you made the right call by shoving, all that dead money in the pot was worth it, especially since you only had 11 BB left. I agree with tomh those two pairs are what you wanted to see when they flipped em.

With 11bbs in 6max, and on the BB.. shoving in a limped family pot with KJs is okay here. It was probably inevitable that you would get a call.. and you had about a 40% chance to win the hand. Just didn't hit it. You made the right call. The cards just weren't on your side this time.

It was the correct shove here. With 11 BB, you had a decent chance to win the hand even with 1-2 callers.

definetley correct to shove here...its hard to put the limpers on med pair since u would at least assume a pre flop raise...unless someone was limping with a monster ur play was just fine
