Just looking over my HH and the hands I lost to make sure I played them alright.

Is this an all in such as I did at these blinds with my stack?

I too would have pushed. You have less than 10 X BB and the blinds are coming. You had one limper under the gun, which means that unless he is slowplaying a big pair, you are probably ahead if everyone folds back to him and he calls you. If he doesn't call, you win the blinds, if he does call you are getting 1.25 to 1 pot odds and are ahead if he has two overcards and way ahead if he has a lower pocket pair. It is bad luck that you evidently run into someone who picked up a hand.

In the first hand I limp. There are still 5 people left to act after you. It is only level 3 and you still basically have 10x the BB so you aren't desperate. There is no need to risk your entire stack for 75 chips from the blinds. If you want more aggression, your stack is still large enough (though just barely) to make a standard 2.5-3x BB preflop bet.

The second hand is an easy push IMO. In this hand the blinds ARE worth risking your stack over, plus you have the limper in front of you so you can hopefully pick up those chips as well. The fact that there is the limper in early position will often keep someone else from calling your all-in, because they don't want to risk getting involved in a 3 way all-in.

Hope this helps.

The second one is a clear push.
The first is harder. It's kinda in the intersection of limp, push and fold. I guess I limp here usually with 8's. If I'm at a table where a raise is almost guaranteed, I think I fold. Still, I don't think a push is crazy.
