I pushed cuz iit was suited, the initial raise was from the HJ and there was a lot of money in the pot already.

Your shove looks fine to me with only 6bb left after paying the blind. Just realize that you will have to win in showdown as both guys already in the pot “should” be calling you in this situtation. One thing to think about is the 4.5x raise, this should alert you to the fact the raiser is committed to calling any shove by the smaller stacks.

One guy 4x's and another flat calls. Your reasoning should be because its suited, but because their ranges crush yours – which leads to a fold preflop

Gotta agree with Panda here, unless you have some sick read on the player that open screams big hand. I would muck it. I know your short and looking for a spot, but gotta avoid one where the guy is advertising he has you crushed.

I agree this is a fold, what would change this from a fold in my opinion is if we were down to like 10 bigs or if we were in this hand against just one player.

I'd much rather push 89 suited than AJ suited in this spot but I'm likely folding anything but the top 4 hands here.

He actually raised over 4X because 4X is 960 so I think he clicked the pot button for his raise size or something weird like that.
