Questions:

Was my pre-flop bet too conservative? Should I have put the smaller stack all-in with my pre raise?

What do you think of both Big Ben & Mr. Bowl’s call of my pre raise.

Is my all-in on the flop the correct play?

What do you think of their call of my all-in?

Any other comments would be welcome.

Thanks Much……….

If I had raised more preflop, it wouldn't have been much more, maybe by 800 or 900 rather than 700. This is already such a big portion of their stacks, that you don't mind them making a bad call at this price (unless, of course, they hit).
