Resteal
$100NL 6max
First hand at the table, but I've been on the waiting list and had the table open for 30 or so hands. Table average is 40/15. Villain is SB and 55/33 after his 30 hands. 2 or 3 loose but semi aggressive players limp.
Villain ($55 Stack) makes it $7, I think and pump it up to $21 with AQs.
I thought about cold calling but thought there was too much of a chance someone else would call
My reasoning: There's $10 dead money and his raising range is very wide here: limped to SB is one of the most cmomon spots for a PF steal. Most hands he's raising with I'm either coinflipping or dominating. The 3 hands I'm afraid of are AK, AA or KK and his range is much wider than that.
Against a small PP I have plenty of fold equity. If he pushes, my PF raise prices me in nicely to take the probable coinflip.
