I attempt a steal raise with T9s, and am called by the big blind. Flop comes Axx and I try to take it with a bet after BB checks. I bet 2400. He check-raises me all in and I have to fold. That hurts badly and I am down to 9200 in chips when this hand comes up:

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t600 (8 handed) converter

saw flop|saw showdown

BB (t12725)
UTG (t14395)
UTG+1 (t27400)
MP1 (t19880)
MP2 (t9760)
Hero (t9210)
Button (t20595)
SB (t20632)

Preflop: Hero is CO with Th, 7h.
4 folds, Hero raises to t1800, 2 folds, BB calls t1200.

Flop: (t3350) 7s, 8h, Tc (2 players)
BB bets t1800, Hero raises to t7360, BB calls t5560.

Turn: (t18070) 6s (2 players)

River: (t18070) 4d (2 players)

Final Pot: t18070
Main Pot: t18070 (t18070), between BB and Hero. > Pot won by Hero (t18070).

Results in white below:
BB has Ad Ks (high card, ace).
Hero has Th 7h (two pair, tens and sevens).
Outcome: Hero wins t18070.


If the big blind pushes like he should have I have to fold, but just stealing the blinds is signifigant at this point, and folded to me in the cutoff I'll try to steal with a lot worse than T7s probably. If the BB pushes me off this pre-flop I'm pretty much in all in/fold mode and just about done.
