Thanks, I see your point. So do you not advocate blind stealing in level 3 then?

Wow...after all that I hadn't even noticed you were the button. (I've been reading a few threads and got your position mixed up with someone else's...totally my bad.) With that in mind, I think your raise was fine. I still don't like the flat call though. Even though he only had AJo here I think too often you'll see a monster (AA, KK, QQ AKs) when someone re-raises like that as opposed to pushing. Then again, people do wierd s**t just as often, so I think its also read dependent (i.e. you've succeeded/failed to steal his blind before).

I think the initial raise preflop is fine. The problem is that the SB is putting you in a situation where you have to commit your entire stack without him commiting his entire stack. It would be very tough to fold on any non A flop getting 3:1. I think I am pushing preflop here...

if villain pushed over your initial raise, would you fold? i would. then your advice is to play stronger against a mini-raise than a push, which i think is bad b/c the mini-raise shows more strength than a push.

i would just fold to the mini-raise.
