Default TT $25 TURBO

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t600 with t50 antes (4 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

Hero (t3805)
Button (t5705)
SB (t1880)
BB (t2110)

Preflop: Hero is in CO with T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
<font color="red">Hero raises to t1800</font>, <font color="red">Button raises to t5655 (All-in)</font>, <font color="gray">SB folds</font>, <font color="gray">BB folds</font>, Hero ... ?

I'm guessing I maybe should have just shoved, but I wanted to be able to get away from the hand if the big stack reraised. I considered min-raising, but the big stack seemed quite aggressive and I really didn't want him calling.

NB. The big stack delayed for about 15 seconds before finally pushing. His stats on sharkscope are:

Games Played: 10,319
Av. Profit: $2
Av. Stake: $27
Av. ROI: 8%
Total Profit: $21,051

you have to just open shove this PF, its not even a question
as played, you said hes been agressive... if you fold you are basically the size of the other 2 stacks so id call at this point with TT, but clearly pushing PF is the optimal play

You absolutely must open-push here. Even though you're the second stack, you're not that far ahead, only a double up or two away from being in big trouble. Raising almost half your stack, folding to a biggie push, then eating the blinds for 60% of your stack over the next two hands is horrible.

I'd call the push, btw. He could definitely have overcards, or something you dominate, like a smaller pair.

TURBO INSTA PRESTO HOLLA HUGE +$EV! SHOVE. YOU HAVE LIEK TT BEASTLINESS AND 6X BB!!!

Raising to 1800 is just horrible. I fold after the raise, even though it might be an any 2 resteal.

Ugh.

I dont see how you can possibly fold here after the reraise, the opponent was agressive, this is not a great spot for a resteal since you look pot committed, but he still may be restealing, and unless he has an overpair a call is in order here. and since you cant know that he has an overpair, but you have to put him on a range you should call this

Yeah, actually, you're right. I think after looking at it and getting past how bad a $1800 raise was there, you need to call.

Why are we making anything less than an all in here? Do you not own SNGPT? if not get it.
