$20+2 Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (7 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

CO (t960)
Button (t1110)
SB (t660)
BB (t2195)
UTG (t525)
MP1 (t2070)
Hero (t480)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with 5/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 7/images/graemlins/diamond.gif.
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t480 (All-In)</font>, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, BB calls t380.

Flop: (t1010) 5/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 6/images/graemlins/heart.gif, A/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>

Turn: (t1010) 4/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>

River: (t1010) K/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>

Final Pot: t1010

My feeling was that I had to make a move soon while I still had decent folding equity. With one big stack folding this seemed like a good time to make a move. I knew the next 3 players would fold if they didn't have a good hand, so the BB was my only worry. As long as he didn't have a pair or have me dominated, I had about a 1 in 3 chance of winning. Adding a few more percent for my straight and flush possibilities would get me close to a 40% chance of winning. Add in my FE and I figured I had a 50% chance of winning or stealing the blinds.

So was it a good or bad All-In?

It really depends on how you feel your opponents are playing, and what hands you expect to be called by. Your allin is definitely not terrible, but it's hard to say whether it's correct.

I don't like big stack being in the BB. That said, 57s isn't bad to gambol with when you only 5x BB.
