I forgot raisers exact stats, but he was LAGG.
What is your move?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (4 handed) by Hand Converter CG

Button (t4900)
SB (t2435)

I actually like calling here too.
Pushing gives him the chance to play perfect plus it's such a huge overbet it's ridiculous.

I think it's a sensible spot to push, a lag villain won't come anywhere near "perfect" in his calling standards. It's a nice pot to take down.

However, I think calling is more profitable.

Don't forget, LAG != bad.
Pushing here seems not good at all.

If we call, we have to give up on most flops.
If we push, we have a chance to take it down PF and we at least get to see all 5 cards for max value.

its still the bubble, he still knows that, even if hes dumb hes not going to call with a ton of his opening range here when hero shoves because its gotta be so friggin wide.

unless all of you are going to start c/r whiffed flops or leading into him on good flops, i really dont think its so clear cut that calling>reraising
