The first hand, I raised that amount to try and say "i'll take on the short stack so you can fold" but the big stack minraised me which had me very concerned. He later said it was probably 50/50 so he either had a pp like me or AK or AQ.
I'm surprised so many people are advocating pushing with a short stack out there because the running theme here has always been to make the money first.
BTW, I played another one right after and got 2nd. I caught up to the big stack to only have a 400 deficit to him and then lost an all in coinflip with my 99 to his KT with a T on the flop.

Second hand I make the same fold -- button only has enough for one more round of blinds, so he'll likely be out soon.

SB showed Q9s so I had him.
I know I'm supposed to try to make the money first which I did. i got 3rd because by the time I got to the money, I was short stacked and lost. I folded both hands because of the short stack but it pretty much doomed me to 3rd unless I got really lucky. Any question on these folds, particularly the first one?
