what's the move?

[Hal 2000]

11-person home tourney. Top 3 pay. 110/70/40 from a 20 buy-in.

Villian had raised my BB preflop on the button when folded to him at least half the times since we consolidated to one table. Namely, 3-4 times out of 8-9 orbits. He's sitting with about ~9000 to my ~7000. Then the hand in question.

100 ante, 300/600 blinds. Folded to Villain, raises to 1800, SB folds, Hero has 77, and he????


Figured this is push or fold??? I had a definite TAG image.........
With 6 players left, I was 5th in chips.. Enough time to wait for a better spot? Thoughts????

Button is definately trying to steal but he is not doing with any 2 cards. If you push, you're most-likely called and doing a flip.

I say, call and see a flop. Push on a safe flop and check/fold on a non-safe flop.

If I'm in 5th place here, I go ahead and push (I try to win tournaments, not fall into the money). He's bullying your blind with his button and you're going to have to put him in his place at some point. I like PP for this because you have a lot of fold equity against anything but AK/AQ or an overpair. You are better than a flip against overcards. He could also call with 22-66 if he's dumb.

push, if i was him i would raise your blind with any ace or some decent high cards. you are most likely in a coin flip position. you came there to gamble, not to get blinded off.
