Default An 11r \'resteal\'

About 400 of 1200 left in the Stars 11r tonight.


PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t800 (9 handed) converter

MP2 (t18135)
MP3 (t32749)
CO (t19737)
Button (t17428)
SB (t2164)
Hero (t30772)
UTG (t52113)
UTG+1 (t7880)
MP1 (t9230)

Preflop: Hero is BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">5 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises to t3200</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t30722</font>

Villain in this hand had raised my BB to exactly 3x from the CO twice in the last 5-6 orbits or so, the second time I shoved in over the top of his 1800 bet for 10k and he folded. I haven't been paying full attention but this is the first time I've seen him raise to 4x. Possibly because I messed with his last raise of my BB, also possibly because he has a real AQ/99 type hand that he doesn't want to get tricky with (but also probably won't fold). I'd imagine he would raise monsters (QQ+) to 3x as usual.


So.......

The push felt like the best play but I cringed a bit doing it. My only other consideration was to fold (I hate a call or stop n go here). What hands do you push here? Anything you call or stop n go with?


Personally I think I push AJ+ and 99+ and fold everything else.

Meh, weird spot.
