I assume it's okay to bully when someone limps in before you.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, $15 Turbo, Big Blind is t400 (4 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

SB (t2930)
BB (t2140)
UTG (t2005)
Hero (t6425)

Preflop: Hero is Button with 5/images/graemlins/club.gif, 7/images/graemlins/club.gif.
UTG calls t400, Hero raises to t6400, SB calls t2705 (All-In), BB calls t1715 (All-In), UTG folds.

Flop: (t11295) K/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 7/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 8/images/graemlins/diamond.gif (3 players, 2 all-in)

Turn: (t11295) 5/images/graemlins/spade.gif (3 players, 2 all-in)

River: (t11295) T/images/graemlins/heart.gif (3 players, 2 all-in)

Final Pot: t11295

Results in white below:

Outcome: Hero wins t11295.

Generally i like to be very careful after limpers, because if u lose this, the stack that beats you is even with you. Being aggressive is good, but where do u draw the line of wrecklessness?

I still think this new aggression is good for you, you used to be weak-tight w/ the big stack. It's just that limpers always call, even if they have Q2o. Generally i like to be on the other end of the 40-60

Playing the hand in this manner, overall, is an error. There is not a definite Short stack to bully, and unless you have seen this person fold after limping often, there's just too much chance he will call, not to mention the blinds.

Yes, BB's play is god-awful. He deserves every bit of his 4th place finish.
If he didn't play this like a moron, he likely gets 2nd minimum.

You have 16BB, sit back and let the game come to you. With the other 3 with similar stacks they can play patiently and wait for their spot as well. Bullying really begins when there is one player on life support and the others know it is not in there best interest to tangle with Sr. Big Stacks.
