Default How to combat co-chipleader\'s perpetual minraising on the bubble?

I'm tired of folding AJ. He's minibumped me on big blind 3 times in a row.

Blinds are at 100/200.
Stacks are at 5000 (villain), 4000 (me), 2000, and 1200.

To complicate things, the shortstacks are folding to him as well.

I welcome your comments, as I get bumped off my BB w/K7sooted.

i don't know that you have to 'take the gloves off' necessary, but hands like AJ, K7s are certainly worthy of taking to the flop (i'd actually reraise the AJ). you have the chips to splash around a bit - if nothing more, letting him know that your BB's might not be free for the taking.

As long as he'll fold to a push, pick a hand, push and pray. Don't do this often. Once or twice should be enough. Be careful, and don't get called.

Remember, just because Villain can and will minraise any 2 in this spot means that your opponent can or will call off 4/5th of his stack with crap just to knock you off.

You have 4000 chips. No need to let his miniraise piss you off and make you do something stupid on the bubble so I wouldn't push or anything. With AJ to a miniraise though, I don't see anything wrong with seeing a flop maybe one time to see if you hit. Let the small stacks get pissed and push with marginal hands. Wait until you are in the money and then shove your stack down his throat. That's my opinion anyways. Peace..........

Re-raise him all-in. He's just as scared of getting crippled from his chip lead as you are of getting busted.

[/ QUOTE ] There is a good possibility that you are correct, but why in the hell would he do this when he has such a large stack already?. If he miniraises every pot you never know what he is holding. Are you saying push every time he raises your big? Push with the AJ? Push every hand? What are you talking about? How pissed would you be if you were to finish fourth after having such a nice stack.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

FWIW, I had AJ on the button when he minibumped from UTG. I'd have reraised or pushed had he minibumped me from the SB.

He showed down A6sooted on that particular hand.

Depends a lot on more than just the last 3 times you were on the blind.

One thing to try is calling and then betting out any flop. You can do this with any two cards.

Ill call and use my positional advantage, if he checks kill him, the problem will come when he min-raises the flop.
The other option is reraising him to 1200 preflop but he might call and minraise the flop...
rerasing all-in and ehh..well he migth call...I think rerasing all-in is the best option.

I'm really confused what the exact question is. It sounds like everyone is talking about a bunch of generalities.
