With a quick count I guessed that I had enough outs (any spade, ace or king) to warrant the all-in push but maybe I bet too much and tried too hard to represent Pocket Queens and it became too obvious that I was trying to represent them (as I wouldn't have minded to have taken the pot down there and then but wouldn't have been disappointed to get called either)

at this stakes im pretty sure players wont be thinking as much as you give them credit for. a high percentage of them are total calling stations and will call down with pocket pairs regardless of what you try and represent.

theres nothing wrong with shoving here givin the number of outs you have, but be weary your going to get called by marginal hands alot. hence the tag strategy pays off at these levels when you basically wait for the nuts and jam it.

exactly as above..... you have enough outs thats your actually favourite on the flop.. you did nothing wrong....
I like the push as you also have the chance of taking it down there and then but again as Mr P says you'll get called here with any pair...
