i assume SB pushed all in on the flop in the first hand. if that is the case, folding is fine.

i assume you went all in before the flop in hand 2. if that is the case, it is the correct play.

the converter has both hands goofed up. if my assumptions are not correct, say so. if you did not go all in on hand 2 before the flop, you made a mistake.

also, hands like this are really a dime a dozen. there is nothing here that should make you re-assess your game, etc...just poker.

cheers!
