$100 Stars NL Tourney last night - Maybe 90 left of 180 or something like that.
Was this too aggressive? It's a tricky situation that comes up not all that infrequently, and I never know what the right line to take is. Do most of you reraise or call from the BB here? Button has been maybe a little over-aggressive with steal raises up to this point, but not way out of line or anything. The min-raise was not uncommon for him, whether he had a real hand or not. Opinions? Average stack is about 3000 at this point.

Was this played too fast? Heck, if I take a different line, I only have 300 chips in the pot at this point instead of all of them.
