I'm a cash game player not used to playing short stacked.
I have 3k the villian has 2800, blinds are 150/300. Villain has been raising a lot of hands. 126 left, 100 places pay. I don't care about slipping into the money i want to go deep.
Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] in the SB. Villian opens in LMP for 900, folded to me I push. Standard or stupid?

If he was opening on the button, I'd say standard. As it is, I think it's borderline, but not awful if villan has routinely been aggressive out of the CO-1 and CO-2 (I assume 'LMP' is one of these seats) when it's folded to him.
Was the villan capable of laying down a hand? He's getting pretty darn good odds here, and really he should probably call you with anything other than complete rags, but some players will lay down decent hands in this situation. Had anyone else restealed (restole) against him successfully?

My table was really tight and the only person who had played back at him was me when I pushed from the BB with AA with with about 1200 and doubled through him (he had Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]). Probably should have included that.

Yeah, given that I fold. It looks like he'll call with marginal hands that have you beat like K9 and A-little. If you thought he might lay these down, I can see it, or if he was *so* aggressive that you thought that QJs was likely the be the best hand (but I'd only think that if he was raising very nearly every time it was folded to him).
