1200 to go. Response to a reraise depends on player reads. Absent read that they are loose/willing to play back and defend, I'm mucking to a push.

Pushing allin wins 600 a lot, and you lose your whole stack if they wake up with 99-AA; AQ; AK. Risk/reward not worth it, when 1200 will do the same thing, but save your stack if you're so inclined.

Unless the table has been playing particularly tight, this is a fold. You have a healthy stack and don't need to get involved here.

easy raise in the hijack spot. DONT PUSH THOUGH.
raise this to about 1000-1400 and play from there.

folding is way to weak cuz u could easily have the best hand here, IMO. this is a good stealing hand

Say I raise to like t900 and get called, and the flop misses me. Opposing player checks. Do I make the continuation bet of another 900 or so or do I just try to check it down? The problem with an attempted blind steal as I see it is that the raise + the continuation bet takes up ~30% of my stack if I make it...

raise more than 900, and make a continuation bet unless you have some sort of read
