Yeah, I wasn't digging the 33 BBs either but was afraid to play higher b/c of my lack of experience. I understand the underlying concept that raising 10bb and getting called by inferior holdings is good but....

1) I'm better than these people post flop. W/the stack so short, don't I want to maximize my advantage and trap them postflop?

2) When they make those calls, they aren't making a terrible call most of the time. If they call w/a hand that doesn't have an A or Q they're only a 2:3 dog. Also what do you do when the flop misses? I'd hate to bet pushing w/A high here just b/c I've forced myself to protect this pot. I've only got ~20 BBs left I raise 10
