I have only pushed once preflop at this point, and it was ten hands ago. This is a 33. Do I try to steal here?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t300 (4 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

Hero (t1290)
UTG (t1360)
Button (t3527)
SB (t1823)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 6/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 2/images/graemlins/diamond.gif.
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, SB completes, Hero ???

Yes--though it depends on your read, I think.

STEAL. This is really, really standard if SB's complete is not fishy.

You've only got 3x BB behind. The pot alone is 2x BB. You're going to take it down enough of the time for this push to be profitable.

I say "SON!" and push with any two cards in this spot. SB won't call you with much of anything (unless he's way too fishy for his own good), and you'll be t600 richer.

Good, I thought this was a fairly standard push. I've been disappointed with my ITM% from the bubble since moving up to the 33s (Although my sample size is only 200), so I wanted to check up on some of my stealing tactics.
