Blinds 200/400/50, 9 handed. I have below average stack with 14,700.
I am big blind and it is raised from early position to 1075, and called by another player. Both guys are known good aggressive players, and had alot more chips than me. Also called by our own Sikas (sb).
I pick up J9 spades and also call. Flop is Kd Qh 10d, and is checked to me by Sikas.
I was unsure of the best line from here. Obvious temptation was to try to check /raise, but worry was that if next player to act put in standard cbet, he would be called by the other guy, leaving my only option a shove which they would all have the odds to call with a lot of hands. The flop was so dangerous, playing it 3/4 ways was not an option.
So I shoved the flop. Both players tanked for 5 mins plus before folding, Sikas snapfolded.
I showed the hand, and table was split on whether I had played it well or badly.

There's not a lot of cards your going to like seeing on the turn
Even though you have 2nd nutz, I don't think your hand is big enough to slow play or risk letting players check behind for free cards.
You could of bet close to pot and try and get some action going but hey.....like you say one persn calls then another
Instead I picked up less than 4k chips.
Felt better about it when 20 mins later I had these 3 hands in a row :
AA .. got preflop and cbet calls but lost customer on turn.
KK...was called down every street on J4234 board. Double.
99..took the same guys last 7k ..99 v AK aipf.
Took me up to close to 60k, but gave some up before closing on 35,700.
So into Day 2, which is an achievement in this field. Regrouping and looking for good spots today with blinds at 600/1200.
Think we've all been there and shoved protecting a vulnarbale hand, but all the same it's 2nd nuts and we should be looking to get action regardless of texture of board.
Plus the pot was 4500 ish and you had 13000 ish behind, makes the shove look a bit silly.
I guess it may bamboozle your oppo into callign though ) I guess if you have 5000 ish then the shove is ok.
BTW I reserve the right to change my mind
Good luck Funny walking creature
so like 5k in pot, you shove for 13k?
think you totally killed your hand especially when you are under average you really needed to get maximum here.
I prob just lead for about 2800 4way though and obv call it off, as that flop wont be cbet with air multiway ever
also a good few worse hands will call a shove here, but all of them raise anyway if you bet
