Suppose you’re one of seven players left in a winner-take-all NLHE satellite. Your stack is T1000, below average, with blinds 15/30. You are in the cutoff and open-raise to T100. The button (who has you covered) reraises to T300, and the blinds fold. The question is whether to fold, call, or reraise in each of the two scenarios set out below. In both scenarios you have some information about your opponent’s holding (based on a very reliable tell). You also know that (a) if you reraise all-in preflop your opponent will call, and (b) if you just smoothcall preflop your opponent is unlikely to make a FTOP-mistake on the flop—in other words, if your opponent flops the best hand he will likely get his chips in the middle, but if you flop the best hand he will likely not pay you off.

Scenario A: You have KQs and you put your opponent on a pocket pair from 55 to JJ inclusive.

Scenario B: You have 99 and you put your opponent on suited broadway cards.

In each scenario, what is your play after your opponent reraises to T300, and why?
