Default Re: 5-5NL exremely deep short handed

[ QUOTE ]
Against a tough, aggressive opponent I call with A-high (and probably K-high) if we're deep and popping him back pre-flop if not.

You've got to be kidding, dude. Coming over the top with king-high out of position? Routinely? With shallow stacks?

After about the second time you pull this, this is how that will go down : villain opens, hero reraises. Villain calls. Hero bets flop. Villain pushes. Hero folds. The End.

Your overall success depends on how much you steal before villain takes a stand. But you can't afford to do this much before villain's routinely going to be calling your reraises in position with better hands than yours for big pots, which is a bad place to be.
