Default Rare miniraise move on THE BUBBLE (55+5 turbos, stars) CHECK IT OUT

Villan slightly on the passive side, never seen him before @ the 55+5s before. I dont really think this information matters for this particular line.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t600 (4 handed) pokerhand.org hand converter

SB (t4515)
Hero (t2916)
UTG (t3633)
Button (t2436)

Preflop: Hero is BB with K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, SB completes, Hero checks.

Flop: (t1050) 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets t600</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t1200</font>

Final Pot: t2850

What is anyone's reasoning for doing things like this? Just fold it.

Push all-in preflop, anyway.

I should add that i've pushed all in PF in SB vs BB for maybe the passed 2/3 times.

You noted he's a passive player. Punish him for limping here before the flop when K high is likely the best. Not after the flop where you are raising the big-stack on the bubble.

If you think the bigstack is trapping you (though he likely isn't) then just check/fold.

Checking preflop and then bluffing into a bet is definatly the worst possible play that you can make here.

I like the push preflop, if you are not going to push then fold.

well if i were the small blind here, i'd think your flop min raise reeks of weakness.
