$11:Strategy for later levels
 

I'm in the midst of about a 20 buyin downturn and thinking my late game strategy is flawed. I generally like to wait for a couple of decent high cards before I attempt a blind steal. For instance would anyone try for a steal on this hand?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (7 handed) converter

SB (t1910)
BB (t635)
UTG (t1435)
MP1 (t975)
MP2 (t1120)
Hero (t720)
Button (t1205)

Preflop: Hero is CO with 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, Button calls t150, SB completes, BB checks.

I realize this is read dependent but in general do you push any 2 if its folded to you and your at level 5.

I generally wouldn't attempt a steal in this spot. The BB is short stacked, and his calling standards should likely be much looser. I'd try to find a better hand within the next three to push on.
