Blinds making steals mandatory...was hoping enough gap here to steal this one...did BB make a poor call?He had KQo... Should I have waited longer before pushing? I was worried after next round of blinds my stack would be too small to have much folding equity for other players. Any opinions?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t40000 (8 handed)

SB (t280952)

Hero (t170828)
CO (t103576)
Button (t285679)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with T/images/graemlins/club.gif, K/images/graemlins/heart.gif.

I'm probably the wrong person to give advice on this because I hate KT and try to avoid playing it all costs. I would rather push all in with 78o than KT because you are less likely to be dominated by hands like KQ and AK. On the other hand you have less than 5X the BB and in the desparate stage. But yes I would have waited for a different hand to push.

I'm not crazy about the SB call with KQ as he's got enough chips not to be desparate but not enough to gamble over half his stack.
