These hands happened consecutively and I'm wondering about
a) my play on the first one,
b) BB's play on the second.
First Hand:
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (7 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)
CO (t775)
Hero (t805)
SB (t1150)
BB (t1820)
UTG (t1020)
MP1 (t1243)
MP2 (t1187)
Preflop: Hero is Button with 7/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 8/images/graemlins/spade.gif.
<font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, I go all-in, BB calls t705.
Is this too reckless? This looked like a good opportunity to steal, although not a very good hand to do it with.
2nd hand (after I got lucky and doubled-up)
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (7 handed)
MP2 (t775)
Hero (t1660)
Button (t1100)
SB (t1015)
BB (t1020)
UTG (t1243)
MP1 (t1187)
Preflop: Hero is CO with K/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 3/images/graemlins/club.gif.
<font color="#666666">5 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">SB raises to t400</font>, <font color="#CC3333">BB raises to t700</font>, <font color="#CC3333">SB raises to t1015 (all-in)</font>, BB calls t315 (practically all-in).
SB's and BB's hands in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF">
SB has As Qc
BB has 7d Ah
</font>
I'm thinking that BB should've pushed or folded here after SB's initial raise. Also, should I have gone for the steal again? I felt like SB and BB might be too short-stacked to try it.
