Satellite

sorry I don't have a hh for you but any opinion would be appreciated

so I played a $45 satellite to a Borgata winter open event ($560) last night. There were 62 players with 4 seats up for grabs (5th place was $240).

one guy was very aggro and had accumulated over 60K, bb was $1,200 and he was shoving as sb into $20-$22K bb stacks

overall out of the 11 players only him at 60K and another guy at 35K had any type of stacks, the rest of us held between 14K-24K

anyways, he literally had shoved 2 out of 3 (or maybe 3 out of 4) of the last hands and I was bb with A9o and I had like 22K, he open shoves from the CO and the effective stack was probably mine and I was just like don't be afraid, you can't be afraid to stick it in and if he is shoving so much he is probably shoving any A, most broadway and all pairs. I was probably getting 1.2:1 or so

I didn't think about any pot odds at the time, just felt like my range was ahead of his and that was enough so I called off, he had TT and I was out

I really don't think my range ideas were so off but what did plague me after getting bounced was that I stuck my chips in with only one way to win (at showdown), I know that as you get closer to the big prizes your chips go up in value and now I am thinking that I failed to appreciate that kernel of wisdom and in hindsight think I should have folded and looked for better spots to either shove or reshove with fold equity

Thoughts?
