Default A9s - what am I doing in this 5r hand?

I had stolen blinds the previous hand, and 2 hands ago. villian was tight, but I had a feeling he was full of crap with the reraise, (but I also knew that there was a chance he had a real hand)... Or do I fold PF getting 3 to 1?
Thanks,
-Mike

If you call - You have a crappy hand that you will have to play OOP. Fold preflop to a re-raise. OR - if you are hell-bent on playing it and think Button is full of crap - re-raise all-in preflop - gives you some folding equity and eliminates the positional disadvantage (I do not necessarily advocate that without a STRONG read).

Other than that - go and read Ansky's post(and ensuiing thread) about situations and stuff.

Flop - re-raise comes from 2 types of hands - better than yours or low-med suited connectors (some of which include 8's or 4's). Check-fold is my plan here...

When you try to steal the blinds two hands in a row you are asking to be re-stolen on. I agree w/ mornelth either push PF or fold to the re-steal. Pushing the flop is suicide IMO.
