Seems standard. Should I push any pair, and QJ+, KT+ any ace? I'm so confused by minraises /images/graemlins/frown.gif

Are you joking? I'm pushing a LOT more than JJ here.

What's your range? Top 50%? Seems like not too many fold when they minraise and you come over the top, especially with even stacks.

Well of course it depends on the player. Do you have pokertracker? What's this guy's VP$IP for levels 4 and 5?

Heh no I don't have PT. Feel a bit like an idiot asking, but I didn't know it was useful for monitoring opponents real-time in SNGs.

I meant with PokerView. I thought they were useful only for ring games.

Anyway: I'm confused by the minraise. Should I interpret it as a steal, or is that very player-dependent? Should I re-steal in most spots with top 50%??

It is when you're multitabling and reading 2+2 and not paying any attention whatsoever to the SnG.

No offense, but regardless of what any software says about the villain in this hand, I'm pushing. JJ is way too strong to do anything else with here, IMO.

Yeah I realized that this was an easy push a little while after I posted the hand. Not sure why I thought otherwise earlier.

Anyway, I guess what I'm asking about now is re-steal range. Should I be pushing with a lot of hands? I'd usually fold and push any 2 next hand into the 3rd stack that's even with me.

Personally, I'd be very hesitant to pull a re-steal with the massive chipleader in the BB. I'd get out of the way and hope that they went to war.

Any re-raising I do would be with very strong hands here.

What I was saying was that JJ is an easy push and that my full push range (whether I would push T9s for example) I would use PokerTracker.

I should have realized that you weren't actually suggesting not pushing against super tight opponents. /images/graemlins/tongue.gif
