K/9o in CO, dead SB — steal?

[marchron]

No, I haven't read HPFAP. Was pushing for it for Christmas, though. Had to settle for Tournament PFAP.

Does anyone think the lack of a small blind in this hand alters things? On one hand, there's 1/3 less for me to steal and I'm risking 2 SB to win 1. But on the other, instead of running over two players who've already invested money and might feel like they have to protect their blinds, I get the BB (who's the same in either case), but I force the button to call two cold.

This is one of those situations where I was working off the script; so far as I know I haven't seen anyone write about a hand like this, and I posted it to judge how far in my poker development I've come. Can I use what I've learned in those hands I know to extrapolate to those hands I don't, or will I wind up lost?

I think I did okay.
