BB Push to big stack button steal
 

I apologize for the noobness of this post. Using ubuntu and having serious issues with hand histories and databases and such.

Action folded around to button who is sitting with 29000 and I believe at the time top 5-10 in the tourney. My image should have been TAG. Sharkscope yielded nothing for villain.

So pretty much, before the hand even gets folded around the the button I know there is going to be raise and I'm satisfied when he makes it 1200. I reraised all-in with ace-10 off suit and assume to be ahead most times. Is this a positive EV play or am I being too aggro here. I'm new to the MTT scene so I don't know if with all things considered, this was a good play in the long run. Input would be appreciated.

I think his range for calling is probably A-Q+ and 99+ and I would consider that a very liberal range for calling as well. I wanted to take my shot here because I would have almost added 20 percent to my stack if he folds.

It's good. Ideally you'd have very slightly less chips but AT is a shove as is...if he's raising ATC & calling 99+,AQ+ you should in fact be shoving everything here & the fact that AT has ok equity against his calling range is a bonus

Originally, I didn't want to put the result down because I thought it would deter comments but he ended up calling with an ace-8 and I was shocked more than anything. Even for bad players, A8o is pretty far fetched. He hit his ace high flush on the turn.
