Smallstack halfway through $1100 satellite into the World Poker Finals

[dumbndumb]

I'll preface this post by saying I absolutely suck with this size chip stack and feel like I vacillate between being too loose and too tight. I know I need help with this part of my game.

44 runners, 19 left, table is 9 handed. Blinds 400/800 100ante. Blinds increase to 600/1200 150 ante in about 10 minutes. Top 4 players get seats, I think 3 get their buyin back.

I have been playing tight, played about 2 hands in last 2 and a half orbits, one I folded on turn after a c-bet on flop and turn check. Other hand I trapped an LAG w/trip aces and showed down a full house. However, many of those who know me in the Foxwoods tourney crowd generally considered me LAGGY (false perception in my mind, but w/e).

Villain in hand is one of tourney chip leaders (has maybe 45-50k) but has been playing pretty tight. I start the hand w/13k.

The hand: Folded to me in highjack and I look down at As7c and raise to 2500 (standard for the table at this blind level, maybe a little small in fact). Villain calls, all else fold. Flop is 10 7 6 rainbow. Hero....



Please comment on PF as well as flop play. Also, any general advice for how to play this stack size (esp in a sat) would be greatly appreciated.
