Default Mid pair in SB facing big stack raise

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (9 handed) converter

UTG+1 (t1865)
MP1 (t1885)
MP2 (t1155)
MP3 (t6630)
CO (t8881)
Button (t1970)
Hero (t5470)
BB (t2435)
UTG (t2610)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP3 raises to t800</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>. Hero .....



Villian's play has been pretty unremarkable. A re-raise pot commits me, calling out of position with a mid pair is also not the best idea.... what should I do here?

You don't want to be putting in $700 here and seeing a flop. Unless you hit a set, it's gonna be tough to win it being out of position. You can't handle any heat at all.

In this spot, I would fold it. I think some aggressive players would reraise all in here, but I think it would depend on the read you have on him. You are at best a slight favorite here if he calls your push in or you could be in serious trouble. If I were way short stacked, I would push, but you've got plenty of chips to fight another day.

Stop &amp; Go? Call and fire t1000 at any flop.

Folding is okay too.

My two cents,

Sam

I fold, too big a % of your stack, out of position, he's got you covered. If you have alot less or alot more chips, I could justify playing to try and bust the guy or double up, but you're in that middle stack range where the decisions become a little tougher.

I would either fold or stop n go here depending on my read of how active the villain has been with his preflop raises. Against someone doing a lot of raising preflop, I like the stop n go because of his wider range of hands he could have and he's a dog to hit the flop. Against a tighter player, a fold is just fine and probably the best play.
