Going forward another hand is too much for me… [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Well, it's just useful to keep in mind that when folding the original hand, we might easily lose almost 40% our stack. Say we get 73o next hand and a more reasonable hand in the SB (but there's a lot of action) and bam, we sit there with 925 chips rather than 1575.

Ok, I might better not let you all in on this little secret, but since no-one has mentioned this yet and because I learned a lot from the STT-forum:
making moves like this from UTG is reasonable, if and only if it is likely that neither of the blinds will bust out this hand.
The 'forward rotating button'-rule on Pokerstars makes that if either of the blinds gets busted this hand, you will skip the big Blind.
The situation this hand:
Hero (t1575)
CO (t1895)
Button (t3515)
SB (t3840)
BB (t2675)
In this case the SB is chipleader and the BB has a reasonably healthy chipstack.
His blind (BB) will very probably be attacked and he might get knocked out, but he needs a very good hand to call a push.
So, in this case I like the 97s push, in situations with desperate stacks in the blinds I prefer to hope for a blindskip.
