Bear in mind, my position post-flop would have been great, as I was last to act. It was only before the flop, with the initial raiser open for a re-raise, that I was in bad shape.

More and more though I think I should have just folded. I left myself wide open to be sideswiped by the initial raiser, whether or not he had a big pocket pair (although it turned out he did, in fact, with pocket queens). My lack of fear of Shorty was accurate also, as he had only A7 of diamonds and lost the hand.
