Curious if anyone else thinks twice when attempting back to back steals, or if your hand requirements change after you successfully make a steal. Here is an example when I recieved the same hand twice in a row and successfully stole the first hand:
NL Hold'em $10 Buy-in + $1 Entry Fee Trny:9635881 Level:5 Blinds(100/200)
Seat 9 is the button
Total number of players : 6
Seat 10: Morphiac ( $1630 )
Seat 9: hero ( $895 )
Seat 6: idahomarkman ( $695 )
Seat 2: OKuosmanen ( $1575 )
Seat 1: berent99 ( $1110 )
Seat 7: choppyfour ( $2095 )
Trny:9635881 Level:5
Blinds(100/200)
** Dealing down cards **
Dealt to hero [ As 5h ]
OKuosmanen folds.
idahomarkman folds.
choppyfour folds.
Hero is all-In.
My thought process: I am more comfortable with this because I am <5BB and need to start accumulating chips. I am probably pushing most hands here if it is folded to me anyway, regardless if they are better or worse then the hand before. Back to back steals and winning a coin flip are the kind of things I need to get back in the game.
Do you push this?
Question 2: Everything exactly the same (cards, blinds, you just stole the hand before, folded to you at the button) but your stack has 1500 instead of ~900. Do you push?
Any thoughts in general about back to back steals would also be appreciated.
