Default Party 500k hand Equal vs. MLG... I want his BB!

From last Sunday's 500k Party guaranteed tourney. 2200 entrants and we are down to 4 tables. I'm motoring along fairly well... and had a rush of good cards in the right situations over the last little while to take the chip lead at the table and second overall.

The 5th table just got broken down and MLG gets moved two seats to my left. He had been chip leader earlier took a hit, but recently has come back and is the chip leader again.

The money is the same for 31-40 and we have about 40 players left. I am playing to win, not to squeak up the money list.

I knew right away that stealing blinds from him was not going to be easy because I was sure he was going to test me.

Also, we both had been posting on the 2p2 thread for this tourney so he probably knows I am a 2p2'er.

The second hand he plays he makes a 2.5BB raise and then calls a short stacks all-in. He loses with ATs and now he is around my chip level.

The first five hands we play together I fold except for when it's folded to my BB.

The sixth hand we play it's folded to me on the button.

Blinds: 4000/8000
Equal (me): 192,000
MLG: 184,000

I get dealt A5o and raise to 19,000. MLG calls.

The flop comes K99 rainbow and there's 42,000 in the pot. MLG checks, and I bet 30,000. MLG raises to 60,000 leaving him with 100,000 behind.

I have about 130,000 left. It 30,000 for me to call, and the pot is now 132,000.

I figure he's testing me since he's new to the table and wants me to back off from his BB. Also, he may know I'm a 2p2 and that I might fold anything but a great hand when he makes this raise.

So I push.

Good or no good?

MLG, if you read this, can you hold off on responding for a day or two?
