Yeah, I screwed up the first example...but if I get it right, then (in the case of 5500) someone else CAN reraise, but the original raiser can not. Is that correct?

In the second example, what is...

Rule on action after a shortstack goes all in

What is the proper rule for the action after a shortstack goes allin and his allin doesn't represent a raise?

2 examples:

1. Blinds at 1000/2000, there is a raise to 4000, shortstack goes allin...

Re: flopping a draw oop what to do now?

I am very surprised that it is so obvious to everyone to shove, CRAI, call-shove in this spot. I have found that on small stakes MTTs it is almost never profitable to semi-bluff with a flush draw...

Re: live 100 - button steals - bad play or bad luck

Thanks for correcting me there on the size of the preflop steal-bet. I do find committed myself at times - I will try it with the smaller ones next time.

Re: First BnM tourney: poor play or bad luck?

As said above if you plan on raising to 4BBs or more you can as well raise it to 6-7 BB, because you will never fold on the flop. You can add a little twist, assuming that the pro he is (from his...

Re: live 100 - button steals - bad play or bad luck

I would prefer stealing from MP when everyone folded. I don't need a hand, actually I do it with rag to not to get into trouble postflop. A little bigger bet is necessary, but you represent more...

I am the guy who played a very tight game in the beginning of any MTT. The few times I made it to the middle stages with above average chipstack I was unstoppable. Sadly, this happened very seldom.

Re: Do you ever consider folding QQ?

Yeah, I figured that he would go allin with any pair tens and lower and AJ. Minimum raise just shouts for a call. That would mean AK(s), AA, KK, QQ (unlikely), JJ, maybe AQs.
