I don't see any reasons you shall move allin on such flop, 2/3 pot bet is enough.

Raise more preflop at this limit so you don't get 3 callers. Don't just shove the flop like this given how many callers you got. It's not going to make them fold if they have you beat.

I guess he is just praying for calling stations who can hardly fold any TP. And he get it.

Here are a lot of things that i do not agree with this hand. Preflop Raise should be around 10 cents Button would have called anyway looks like someone who wants to get lucky but we need them to pay us off. On the flop that over bet is looks like desperate attempt and anyone with a strong hand would never have done that. We should have checked the flop called the bet if anyone bets anything and muck hour hand on the turn.

Raise more preflop to avoid getting called by more then one person and if you miss the flop and you think this flop is well within your opponents range then you much check and call his bet if it looks week like 1 pair or a bluff no point in going all in when you're drawing dead.

Yea, the all-in on the flop was ridiculous...

As others have stated, you could have raised more pre. If 3x always when opening works for you, then keep it, but I doubt your opponents would notice if you raised 2c more in this particular hand.

There were no draws so once you make a reasonable bet and get called, you can be fairly sure your opponent has a queen. In that sense, it would have been possible to save some money here. If you know your opponent is always calling a shove with top pair, then it's not a bad play at all, it really depends at the micros. With a shove you dont have to worry about future cards that could scare your opponent (though there are only really 2 of those left)

I see, looking back the shove was ridiculously stupid. I guess I got excited.
