Default $11: Two BB defending hands

<font color="red">#1</font>

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (6 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

Button (t2255)
SB (t1365)
Hero (t2095)
UTG (t975)
MP (t470)
CO (t840)

Preflop: Hero is BB with T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, SB completes, Hero raises [t2095]

"Don't ya frigging limp on my blinds!" SB had been playing pretty tight. This is a no-brainer for me usually with KTs, but this time I had already made this move against him once, and he folded then. Should I be worried of trapping or steam-calling?

<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">SB raises to t250</font>, Hero raises [t1996]

Villain had been very LAG, even for $11 standards. His raise could mean any 2. I think I have folding equity left here, since I had not really played aggressive yet.

I think the first one is good if he's been playing tight. I wouldn't get worried about trapping or steam-calling if you only did this once before. Now, start gradually increasing your standards after this push when he completes.

2nd hand is OK too because of your reads IMO. I do think you have FE, but you would have a lot more FE if he had just a bit more chips. You're ahead of his range by far so even if he calls you should be a favorite vs his hand and maybe even dominating.
