Re: late push question
The one thing you have to remember is that people constantly stealing blinds do get quality hands too.
Their plan is to steal steal steal, and when they get a good hand, make nobody believe them.
I don't think you are ahead in this hand. It seems like the kind of bet a stealer with TT or JJ would play. With the villain only having triple his bet, you have very little options.
What would the villain do if he tried to steal pflop, or raised with a quality hand pflop but bricked the flop? How would he usually play flops?
Perhaps a call preflop could have been appropriate if you thought you could outplay him on a flop. It would send a strong message to the blinds and let you get away from the hand if one of them picked up a big monster.
You want this pot heads up with the raiser, and most of the time you can get that without having to reraise all in pflop.
If you feel you are not one of the better players at the table (skillwise), I'd take the probable coinflip.
