Playing well, Running well

Placed 2nd in a STT for $270 and placed in the money in a MTT $75 tourney and took home about $118. I made mistakes in both, but overall did well.

In the STT, I called all my money down with 2nd pair and lost (took 2nd). What a weak play. Nothing is worse than calling all your money away and losing.

In the MTT, I tried to bully a short stack too much after the flop and he called. I should of realized he was pot committed with his bet. I.E. When he bet 1/3 of his stack into 2 other people, he had a had he was willing to go down with.
