Default Re: Curtains 4: TT Facing Minraise

This seems fishy, but what do you guys think of reraising to $1000 w/o any reads on villian? It gives the opportunity to fold if he comes over the top and still be in good position, but it can also take down the pot and represent strength. Or is this just asking to be reraised and effectively handing over your comfortable tournament standing?
Like i say, it seems fishy, but would it be viable if original bettor is likely to fold at least half the time?

I probably call looking to either move in on an overpair flop and play velly carefully on others.

I don't like reraising to 1000 at all, as you are giving very good odds to call. Depending on the big stack I am either pushing or calling and seeing how the flop looks before committing any more chips.

Pushing here is terrible IMHO, and reraising is even worse. Position still matters! Call and play careful poker.

I hate the reraise to 1000. It gives AK/AQ a chance to push over you. And if you fold there, you've just been owned.

I think the choices here could probably be ranked in the following order, from best to worst: call, fold, push, raise.
