Default 2 interesting bubble situations am i asking to bust 4th?

In this one im looking at an almost certain bubble if shorty doubles, and big stack is calling me 100% so only shorty>bigstack>me ends in heartbreak here. Is this ok?

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t600 with t50 antes (4 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

CO (t930)
Button (t5690)
SB (t5585)
Hero (t1295)

Preflop: Hero is in BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
<font color="red">CO raises to t880 (All-in)</font>, Button calls t880, <font color="gray">SB folds</font>, <font color="red">Hero raises to t1245 (All-in)</font>, Button calls t365

Flop: (t4470) J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (3 players)


Turn: (t4470) 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3 players)


River: (t4470) A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (3 players)

Here's another sort of similar one, not quite as desperate this time but half my stack is in the blind next hand and odds are 100% im getting pushed into. My thinking here is if i limp BB will put me in. He didnt, but i felt sure i was either ahead of one of them or the BB had us both beat here. Is this one better/worse than above?

nothing? Im not at all a veteran in sngs so even just a "this fine" or "this is bad" would help.

Why aren't we shoving hand 2? HAs to go SB&gt;BB&gt;Hero for us to bust. OP - bumping your post after 10 minutes is seriously lame.

I think his reason for not shoving hand #2 is so that both him and the BB can see a showdown to try and take out the SB. Either way, shoving or just calling isn't giving shorty any additional chips.

I agree with Jay, shove hand 2, hand 1 is standard.
