dont have the hand script but i'll give a rundown as to what happened.

so im pretty deep in the sunday 1/4 mill on stars. blinds at 8K/16K. I have just under 160K and i pick up Q8s in the cutoff. i decide to shove to pick up the 40K or so in blinds and antes. the guy on the button has around 200K, little more than myself in relation to the blinds, and he calls. the blinds fold and he shows QJo. The call IMO is just awful as he has two players to act behind him and with QJ ur ahead of very little (just so happens he's a luckbox and has me dominated on this occasion).

The board bricked and he won and i came 320th (of 31153, not bad i guess) for $120 or so.

Was my shove bad???
Or was his call worse??

If he has a read that the blinds are very tight it's ok. If the blinds are tight and you're pushing 30% (which you should be), he's flipping with your range. Close enough that I think QJs is a defensible call.
