Situational - the two calling were calling any bet. Took a shot at the dead money before someone else did. Previous all in calls were with 8 high and 5 high.

Even against 2 hands like that, you are only between a 38% - 45% favorite according to the poker odds calculator on Cardplayer. If either of them has a pocket pair, then you are now behind and need to hit the flop.
The way I see it is you took a gamble and it didn't pan out the way it should have. Unlucky that they ended up having those hands, but c'est la vie. Next time play the hand out properly or wait till you get QQ->AA before making a shove like that when you know they are calling.
I didnt think this was the advice request area. Correct me please if I am wrong. No where did I claim it was the correct move, or plus ev or anything of the sort. It was just a situational thing and i was glad to put my money in at that point. it was just for fun not exactly high stakes. sigh.
