EPT London. Hand against Niko7 (N. Levi)

[farolero]

This hand was played by a spanish player at London EPT and its being long discused in forums over there. Im curioss to see what the good MTT players here think about it.

10 mnts to end day 1, Spanish Player (SP) and Niko7 are among the liders with SP 42k, NIko7 arround 50k, blinds 300 600 75.

Dinamic is SP is playing agro, opening a lot of pots, reraising and taking pots postflop with no showdown.

SP opens to 1700 from CO and A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
Folded to Niko7 in sb or bb (not sure) who reraises to 5k.


Knowing that:

-Niko7 knows you are stealing a lot and you feel hes restealing, lets say Niko7 range here is top 50%

-SP thinks he cant never reraise and fold to a push getting close to 2-1

How would you play this preflop? and what plans you have for the flop if you decide not to raise and just call?
