Meh, I involved myself in a fucked up spot and I think after I reviewed my hand I decided a fold was the best option. The hand looks tantalizing at first glance but I do not draw to the nuts all that much. That said, I couldnt find a fold as I thought the initial aggressor is rarely the nuts here and if he has them I have him covered. Now, the 3better is most likely aces in this spot, so unless he has my flush draw dominated, I am getting a certain fold. What I feared the most was the big stack and the way I played my hand was solely because of him. I shipped to make him fold his crap, but apparently he had the nuts and held up. Now, in this scenario I think my shove wasn't all that bad, because if I redraw him and lose to the short stack, I'm still going to profit. But I'm still confused as to how to approach this hand better.
