Bad time to push? Stop and go? The big stack was miniraising a lot. 4x in a row from the button. I pushed him off earlier with AK. I've got a pretty loose table image as I pushed 64o from the sb and split the pot. I really felt that he was minraising any two and I could push him off. My stack was too big to stop and go, I didn't think calling was right, so I pushed KJo. Any thoughts

hmm well you obviously want him to fold here as opposed to calling your push... unfortunately from what I've seen, if he has an A or PP, he's gonna call. I'd be much more inclined to call the minraise and see a flop (check/fold or check/raise depending on what comes)... You have enough chips left in your stack to do this in my opinion...

If he's been raising EVERY hand and you feel he's minraising you with complete garbage, a push is probably warranted.

I'd fold this. Your stack is big enough that you don't "need" to further involve yourself with this hand.

If he's been mini-raising every hand, he's due for a confrontation, but it doesn't have to be with you. At least not holding KJ.

Has anyone played back at him at this point? What happened when they did?

If he's been on a blind-stealing spree, go ahead and push. He's not likely to call you with many hands, so you'll probably win. If he does call though, you could be in a world of hurt.


I push here.

Still, he gets an extra 1k if the button folds, in addition to winning back the BB he just posted. That's a stack increase of 33%, which would be really helpful.

I pushed him off with AKo and he folded. I called with ATo the hand before and folded to the flop bet.
