Villain had min-raised 3 times before this one, and on 2 of them he got re-raised and folded. I was so tempted to push here... I went to the tank and finally decided that he could be doing that exactly to entice a push OTP, so I mucked.

Do you push this?

I am thinking the same sometimes. I like calling and pushing the flop if it has two rags and one card 9-K.

You think way too much when you play. Sit and go's are NOT that complicated, don't make them so. You have T9o and are facing an UTG raise, just fold and move on.

I totally come over the top if villain is on the button, especially if I have him covered and he's minraised from there before -- at the 22s, that isn't a monster, it's a retarded blind steal. Some of them will do it over and over again, even if you've reraised them the last 4 times around the table.

The only one of those conditions you've got is that he's apparently done it before. Throw this one away.
