Your A2 situation is very dependent on stack size. I recommend that you post some hand histories of situations similar to this. I don't consider A2 a good all-in hand at all. You're behind any pair, WAY behind Aces with a 6 or higher(A2 versus A3,4,5 split a lot), and only a little ahead of unpaired non-Ace hands.


Don't think about it as YOUR BB. What's important in these situations is to average a little more than one steal per orbit. If you're getting crummy cards in the BB then don't let that knock you out. Instead, steal more pots when you're the Button or the SB.

In the situation you described, yes, you can increase the range of hands that you'd push back with, but with 15 BB's there's no reason to push with any 2.
