Default Re: $22S : 88 5 handed vs minraise help me out

I would definitely push based on your read on him. I wouldn't fear the minraise too much, some players try to steal cheaply when the blinds get huge. If he has been active, then there's still a reasonable chance he will fold, which would be what I would be hoping for. If not, you're probably racing.

I don't like a stopngo at all, because there's too much chance BB will call based on his stack size and pot odds. Stopngos don't work well against two opponents, especially with a dry side pot.

I agree with Ralphie here [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].

The only worry is that with the BB small stacked, he will often come along, so you could be up against 3 or 4 overcards to your 8 if both call. However, I also think this is a push, since the ideal situation is a call from BB who could have unders as well, a fold from big stack, and a resulting 2:1 return of investment if you win.
