What do you need to push here? My stack is below average, I have a tight image. Button has been pretty active; my one note says he called a 1500 all-in flop bet (half his stack) on a flush draw. I don't have a read as aggro or passive, just busier than one would expect from normal play. This is our first steal situation (but I haven't noticed him pass on any steals either; this could be his first opportunity.)

something like AJ+ 88+. i'd call A7s+ A9+ KJ+ KTs+ JTs+ 55+. i'm not repushing "cute" hands like 56s that do ok against monsters, cause i think this guy will be calling with mediocre hands like KJ. i want to take big cards against him.

probably a fishy play but not if the pot was big compared to the not.

unfortunately, that's not something that you know within a range of probabilities, so it IS about the cards.

no, just basic SNG strategy.

maybe i should put this another way... or ask a question. what range of hands do you put button on? how risk adverse is he? you have FE here. I like shoving any 2 in this scenerio

Actually I remembered that one wrong. I looked up the HH-he stop-n-go'd all-in on the turn, getting 3-2, into a flop over-bettor and caller (two tall stacks) when he landed a flush draw + gutshot with no apparent scare cards on board.

So his range turns out to be quite large and he may be on a pure steal, but of course I pushed T-high junk into his AKs. Caught the T on the door card, but 3rd st. was the K.

My greatest flaw is impatience. The blinds grow, the cards don't come, the blinds won't let me steal from them, I leap at the first possible opportunity. Sucks.

If I haven't seen villain raise/fold before, I don't reraise here as a bluff, so I probably play it like schwza said.

If I've seen him raise/fold, I push suited connectors as well.
