Re: The little things. Abusing your stack.

Lorinda,
Just move in preflop. It's much easier, and he can hardly call you with most hands. Stack sizes are perfect for this move. Now your in a situation where if he calls, you have no idea where you are, and if he raises, well then you fold. Pushing here preflop is definitely +EV.

I completely agree with Jason.
I was in a 200K qualifier SNG on PP tonight with a similar situation. I had been folding when I was BB quite a bit. There had been no need to push when the blinds are minimal. Here is the sitch.
Button: 2500
Me (BB): 1500
Blinds 100/200 no one else pertinent in the hand.
Folded to Button, he raises his standard 2x, SB folds. I had K-6 spades. I just blasted him and went all in. He folded, and he never tried that crap with me again. I went on to win the tourny.
Point being is that if you notice the button consistently raising a set amount, say 2x the BB, Push push push. It will accomplish 2 things. First and Foremost it will get you valuable chips. Second, it will make the thief think twice about doing it again, well at least if they have mediocre hands. I completely agree that this exact situation has nothing but +EV.
