Villain is loose passive.

Can't fold (right?), can't call for set value, so gotta reraise all-in huh?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (7 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

UTG (t760)
MP1 (t1550)
MP2 (t1985)
Hero (t895)
Button (t765)
SB (t790)
BB (t1255)

Preflop: Hero is CO with T/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, T/images/graemlins/club.gif.
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 raises to t300</font>, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, Hero goes all-in, MP1 calls t595.

Flop: (t1120) Q/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 4/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 6/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

You don't have a tonne of FE against him here. With 6xBB I don't particlarly mind pushing knowing that.

You will be called a large proportion of the time here, but I don't think that's a bad thing, as Villain is likely doing this with a large range of hands, including pairs you dominate, and aces you are a 70/30 against. With ~6bb I don't see that you can do much else, even if you're in a race. Especially with the overlay factor. I'd push this.

In fact, this is one of the biggest mistakes I see, people min raising for 1/4 their stack on a steal attempt, it's maybe 10% at the most a monster, the rest it's a hugely marginal hand, and then they call the rest off just because they feel committed, almost always taking the worst of it.

Thank you both for the replies. I was pretty sure that was the right move. Always good to get a confirmation though.

For the record villain showed KK... but hey, that's poker!
