 Please explain?
First, let's look at my stats for this SnG:
During current Hold'em session you were dealt 45 hands and saw flop:
- 2 out of 7 times while in big blind (28%)
- 0 out of 7 times while in small blind (0%)
- 1 out of 31 times in other positions (3%) AK all in preflop
- a total of 3 out of 45 (6%)
Pots won at showdown - 1 of 1 (100%) the AK held up
Pots won without showdown - 2 separate all in with AK not called, one hand the small blind folded
Now, the hand:

Now, could anyone please explain the thinking of these two players? Granted, it was a steal attempt that failed...but I did nothing to make them think a steal was something I'd do (my first attempt all game!). Any comments?
