This was a 2 table tourney- right to push any 2 in this spot? The tables had just been merged about 5 hands before, so I didnt have any kind of a read.

Either I or the CO had stolen the last 4 or 5 of his blinds, so I saw him as pretty tight. Good spot to push any 2 again?

I wasnt really paying attention here, and didnt see that MP3 had 2K or so left behind after a 2.4K raise, which usually sets off alarm bells. Of course, if I'm not willing to get it all in preflop in this spot, I shouldnt be playing poker.

Standard bubble push? BB had been playing pretty tight with his big stack, I didnt see SB calling with UTG left to act. UTG had been open limped in his SB twice, and then folded to my raise, so I though I would be able to push him off most hands.

5 Table tourney- in hindsight, I'm not feeling too good about this one. The Big stack had just called an all in (and won) with Q6, and had really been donking it up. I was in push/fold mode, and kind of forgot who was in the blinds... If the big stack had been tighter, does this push become any less horrible?
