Default Re: Is this a good time for a resteal?

I don't like it. I want to try and resteal when I think there's a good possibility that the raiser has little or nothing. This is a tight player raising in a situation where he knows one player (SB) is pretty much compelled to call with anything, so he's got something.

You want to resteal against players who are aggressively attacking the blinds. First they are likely to lay it down, and second, they (and possibly others) may lay off your blinds.

Also, since the SB is all-in (with pretty much a random hand) the raiser knows that if they both go out, he makes the next spot anyway. I'm surprised if anyone is laying down TT here, or 99 for that matter.
