Stars 6.50 Turbo. Read on villain is that 3-4xBB is his standard raise, and has come in about 30-40% of the hands the entire tourney this way, and very frequently in this level (which changes in less than 1 minute to 75/150). He'll stick around with any piece of the flop, but has let a lot of hands go, too.
So:
1.) Is this hand worthy of calling a raise? Probably not, even for this game. [Yes, I played it anyway. Get your Bics ready for flamin'.] However, villain had shown down some hands earlier where he played Ax and stuck around until the end because x hit the flop. So, there's a good chance that even if I am in a 60/40 situation, he'll pay me off with a second-best hand when we both hit.
2.) Any FE now by pushing preflop? Not likely. Villain hadn't laid down a hand preflop, but then, no one really played back at him.
3.) Any FE available when the flop hits? Yes, provided it misses villain.
So, for experimentation's (and posting's) sake, i decide to stop. Then, when the flop hit:
4.) Is the flop texture suitable and sensible for a push? Yes. So I push.
Am I close to figuring out this play? Not so much? Get this donktacular Hero guy in my game ASAP? Serve him drinks, too?...
Advice badly needed. Thanks.
