Re: $109 tourney, T5s hand

If I'm 2nd stack at the table I tend to avoid the one guy who can break me unless I have a good holding.

I partly agree with this, but not completely. Surely I'd be more happy to steal the blind from a stack that I have covered, but I don't think it is really unreasonable to attempt to steal from the big stack, who wasn't playing too loose or anything, especially if I can get away from many hands if I get reraised, or get called, not hit anything, and face resistance.
Against some very loose big stack opponents (there are many players who when playing a big stack are willing to make huge calls and raises with very marginal hands post-flop), i'll be just delighted to get a PF call and hit this particular flop, although I'm not sure I'd steal from such a player. I think the fact that he's a big stack is a bit less important than the way I think he plays, as there isn't a huge differece here if he has me coverd by 4K or I have him covered by 4k, IMO.
