The general question i'm wondering about is, when it is down to two or three, what hands will you come over the top of a raise with? in particular a minraise, because at this point in the game at the 10+1's i see those alot.
This hand i felt like i was justified in reraising all in the SB's minraise, and i didn't hesitate to do so. i still think it was the right move, and i'm not being results oriented or anything like that, just curious as to whether or not in general this is the right play, and what kind of hands people make this play with.

if sb goes 2x BB i usually read it as a bluff, and would have def pushed the A7 here too. I mean tip your hat to him he outdrew you, not much you can do, I would have played it the same way. Unfortunately the PP structure advocates lots of huge coin flips late in tournies and when they aren't hitting there just isnt much you can do.
