The "got away with one" feeling

I was just reviewing a HH of mine and wanted to kick myself in the nuts.  Had a question about a spot.  Not the spot in itself, but in theory.

 

Situation was a 180 man, ITM and in the low teens left (say 13)

I'm shorty at the table and prob right at the bottom of players left we'll assume.

8bbs and 3rd to act I happily shove the 97s and it gets through.

VERY NEXT HAND DEALT, no changes how many left, only change is my position and I added ~2bbs

I get A6s and it folds to me UTG+1 (6 handed) and I fold. 

 

In game I'm sure I thought about it and passed because I just got away with shoving the hand before, and not wanting to shove and get called and be dominated blah blah <reserved for another bad excuse to be a nit> etc.  But reviewing it, I'm thinking, WTH are you doing!!!  Happy to shove the 97s and folding the A6s?!?  Both are shoves!! 

 

So this is just an example, and maybe a bad one, but my question is how much if any do you shave off your shoving range if you shoved the hand prior?

The second consecutive shove is generally percieved as strenght for the exact reason you folded.  You have drawn attention to yourself with the first shove so they think surely this shove has to be better than the first.  In any case your hand/stack size pretty much dictates you shove this hand.

As a matter of my play I don't typically adjust my shove range based on what I did before. If the situation warrents throwing it in there I will go ahead. My experience says that typically it isn't till 3 in a row that the table gets curious and starts calling off light to stop you. I would stick with your plan, if you have a hand in your shoving range and a situation that warrents it, throw it back in there.
