Folded to me, I raise to 300, folded to BTN who raises to 500. Whats your play?

I assume it's folded back to you.

Although the raise looks preposterously fishy, you have to push all-in here. At this point, putting him all-in will give you better than 2-1 on your money, and there's a good chance that you may still have the best hand. Pray for AK, I guess.

Push is fine. Calling and then pushing the flop is ok too I think.

Definitely not folding.

Whats your play?

If it's hand 1 of the level I can fold this, if it's hand 10 I make sure I flop a set.

The reraise is not 200, it is 960.

PS: I don't expect many to agree with me on this one, it's a change I've only recently tried out and so far I like it after small sample.

I didn't see what level this was at, but I am assuming that button is a decent player. The more I think about this move, the more I think that I should use it more often.

If I am button, I am putting you on a pretty good hand and not a steal from UTG+1. I am putting in over half my stack, so I am very prepared to go down with this hand. My min raise is begging for you to come over the top, or at least give me some action. If I was going to resteal here, I would re-raise all in. I can only think of a few hands that I would make this play with, and they all beat JJ.

If I am hero, I am thinking ****! I would much rather see a push here then see this mini raise. If you fold, you still have ~10x BB, and still have plenty of time. If you come over the top, unless button is a moron, he is coming with you.

I more then likely would call the extra 200, and check/fold if unimproved or no great draw presents itself. I think if I hit, I am taking his stack, and if I miss I still have ~8XBB and time to make it up.

with the intention of pushing any flop where I flop an overpair. My thoughts were if I call and fold to an AI bet when an overcard hits the flop I still have T700ish left to attack the blinds later. I didnt know if I wanted to put the whole tourney on JJ facing a reraise.

[Hawkeye27]

I assume this means you push at this stage (50/100 BB)?

Thanks Bigwig, yes it was folded back to me.
