Close to ITM blind steal
 

The table was getting tight as we moved closer to ITM, and I decided to raise to take down the pot. The BB re-raise putting me AI to call. Should I have folded to the re-raise or call and hope I have the best hand?

if ur gonna raise, u need to push

just push from the get go

is UTG limp raising here?

Two limpers to you with AT, easy push.

Easy call. Pot is laying you 4.3:1, you can call if he shows you KK, or AKs before you call.

with &lt;8BB left you should be in push and fold mode.
