Default Re: B&M 1-2, I\'m weak/tight

Iron: I live in the Chicago suburbs, and play at Majestic Star and Resorts all the time. I'm sure you know me.
The buy ins at the 100 max game are all messed up (50 BB max), and makes it difficult to play poker. Because of the low buy in and high PF raises, you will be constantly looking at commitment decisions. Therefore, extra care must be taken when choosing OOP hands to raise with. AT off in EP you fold PF so you avoid the exact situation you encountered. Because the players there are so bad, you will be tempted to call, but you will be near you commitment point. If an ace hits and you bet or call, you are now tied to this hand. As played, fold.
You are pushing all in with the second hand, especially if these hands happened in order, ie..he pushed you off the AT off hand first. You are ahead most ranges at this boat, and he thinks you are his girlfriend cuz he pushed you off the earlier hand with position.
Finally, play more at Resorts. The players are way worse, and the buy ins make more sense. The room is smaller and uglier, but you can't have everything...
