Seems standard. Should I push any pair, and QJ+, KT+ any ace? I'm so confused by minraises [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Are you joking? I'm pushing a LOT more than JJ here.

What's your range? Top 50%? Seems like not too many fold when they minraise and you come over the top, especially with even stacks.

Well of course it depends on the player. Do you have pokertracker? What's this guy's VP$IP for levels 4 and 5?

Heh no I don't have PT. Feel a bit like an idiot asking, but I didn't know it was useful for monitoring opponents real-time in SNGs.

I meant with PokerView. I thought they were useful only for ring games.

Anyway: I'm confused by the minraise. Should I interpret it as a steal, or is that very player-dependent? Should I re-steal in most spots with top 50%??

It is when you're multitabling and reading 2+2 and not paying any attention whatsoever to the SnG.

No offense, but regardless of what any software says about the villain in this hand, I'm pushing. JJ is way too strong to do anything else with here, IMO.

Yeah I realized that this was an easy push a little while after I posted the hand. Not sure why I thought otherwise earlier.

Anyway, I guess what I'm asking about now is re-steal range. Should I be pushing with a lot of hands? I'd usually fold and push any 2 next hand into the 3rd stack that's even with me.
