first off, i just wanted to say that in these shallow stacked tournaments, while its frustrating, its not that surprising to go from CL to broke in just a couple of hands. i mean, look at where you were -- as CL, you had about 21BBs. thats silly.

second hand looks good. the first hand though, i think sometimes you have to spell it out for these guys -- you have no fold equity! if it folds to you in the SB here, and BB has a comfortable chipstack (under 10xBB, but I bet a lot of stacks were under 10xBB at that time), you should just push. don't give him the notion that he MIGHT make you fold. instead, make him decide whether he's willing to put his "tournament life" on the line with whatever hes holding.

or of course the alternative is raising to 50k and folding to a push. but i think raising to 100k is the "worst of both worlds." i say push it allin and make that sucka make a big call to double up.
