How's your head feeling this morning, dude? Drink lots of water, take a couple motrin, and go back to bed.

Oh, one more thing, poker and booze don't mix. I know this for a fact. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

You should be pushing a lot from the SB vs BB late in tournament in much more extreme situations than this.

One of my leaks is that when I have a small stack (-250) in level 1-2 I make stupid plays to double up fast.

Lately I have been trying to be much more patient in those situations and it seems to work much better.

I know this is not what the OP is talking about but since the topic was how to manage the small stack it might be interesting to some. I think it is a pretty common leak.
