Default An 11r \'resteal\'

About 400 of 1200 left in the Stars 11r tonight.


PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t800 (9 handed) converter

MP2 (t18135)
MP3 (t32749)
CO (t19737)
Button (t17428)
SB (t2164)
Hero (t30772)
UTG (t52113)
UTG+1 (t7880)
MP1 (t9230)

Preflop: Hero is BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">5 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises to t3200</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t30722</font>

Villain in this hand had raised my BB to exactly 3x from the CO twice in the last 5-6 orbits or so, the second time I shoved in over the top of his 1800 bet for 10k and he folded. I haven't been paying full attention but this is the first time I've seen him raise to 4x. Possibly because I messed with his last raise of my BB, also possibly because he has a real AQ/99 type hand that he doesn't want to get tricky with (but also probably won't fold). I'd imagine he would raise monsters (QQ+) to 3x as usual.


So.......

The push felt like the best play but I cringed a bit doing it. My only other consideration was to fold (I hate a call or stop n go here). What hands do you push here? Anything you call or stop n go with?


Personally I think I push AJ+ and 99+ and fold everything else.

Meh, weird spot.

Interesting question. I wouldn't do it. I actually would like to see more feedback from the board.

Q: Do you make this move only if you have the CO covered?

The only problem i have with this is that the CO knows that you know he's raising your blinds, and because of that, he can justify calling this with more marginal holdings.

Which I guess you want, but if villan will put you on a complete rag resteal and gamble with a KQ or whatever, i like giving him a chance to fold. I would rather pop it up to 12k, and either move in on any flop or call his reraise all in.

Way too tight. No wonder he keeps raising your blinds. Those are like typical open raising standards from early position.

I tend to like to reraise or fold too, but you can flat call.

From the BB against an aggressive raiser from the CO, you could push with any pair, most suited connectors/gappers, two face cards, A8s, and some other hands.

I would reraise him to about 12K, put in massive continuation bet whatever the flop.
