    In this situation shoving gets no one to fold b/c they have already comitted too much chips in proportion to what I have left. However if i just flat call. Then the sb shoves his KK in on the flop and I insta call and the person with 44 perhaps doesn't feel so good about his chances with his hand and folds Would I have been better served to take the line of just calling in this situation ?? Any advice is appreciated

    Sounds like results playing to me. With ur stack, I think you played it perfectly and got unlucky.
