Possible resteal; what to do?
 

Couldn't get converter to work, sorry. Final table of $5 rebuy on Absolute. 108 entries. I've been trying to make tougher calls such as this. I've been raising a number of pots since the table started. Here's the kicker though. While the SB was pondering whether or not to get involved, villian in the BB types in 'He's stealing', then reraises me. Other than one stretch where he raised and won about 3 out of 4 pots uncontested, he's been pretty tight. Who makes this call?

Very easy fold, whether he had typed something or not. If anything I would suspect the stealing remark means he has a monster but your hand is a stealing hand and you have got to fold. I also dislike your pre flop raise, should have made it 6k unless 5x the BB was really the standard for the table.

Re: Possible resteal; what to do?
 

definitely fold.

As I said, I'm trying to take more chances when I believe deep down I'm ahead. I didn't put him on a bigger pair or better ace. I was ~75% sure I was ahead so I made the call, a kind I probably won't do the next 20 times. He shows Q5. Board doesn't help him.

Fold. You're barely ahead of a lot of hands, and behind a lot.

Re: Possible resteal; what to do?
 

Well, he would have reverse-reverse-psychologied my azz, because his remark screams "I have AA/KK but I want you to call, so I'm going to act like I'm re-stealing."

Folding would still leave you near the chip leaders.
