Re: Should I have picked this hand to take a stand with?
[ QUOTE ]
I was in the big blind with K7o and had only about 2000 more in chips. Average stack was 4000 but there were a lot of short stacks, and since the small blind for next hand would be 2.5x bigger I thought it was I good time to make a move and try to double up.

I'm confused. What do you mean when you say short stacks... are you one of them? How many are there, and more importantly, how many of them are in this hand ? Having lots of short stacks in this hand is dangerous, because they are likely to be thinking the same thing you are (and getting gambly, too).
The advantage to being in the BB in this situation is that you get to see how many people have limped in ahead of you. It sounds like there were four or more limpers, which is a very scary situation for K7o. I would have agonized for a bit and then probably waited for the next hand; you're pretty screwed here if you get a call.
That being said, you were already in a bad spot by folding your way down to 5 big blinds at 200/400. I usually loosen up and start to push with one live card at 7 or 8 BBs.
