Resteal from SB

[adam55867]

Bodog $10 rebuy

Blinds are 300/600
about 20 away from the money

Folds around to the loose aggressive button (has around 20000) and he raises to 2600.

I have A10s in the SB with about 10400 and push.

His overbet is screaming weakness and his hand range is already huge.

Do you guys agree with this?

I cant see calling of a quarter of my stack and at the same time i'm pretty confident i have the best hand.

Should i wait for a better situation or is this ok for a resteal???

this isnt a resteal . you have a legit hand and prob the best hand against a button raise this is another no brainer move. calling is horrible and so is folding too weak tight

Good push.

I would pull a stop and go here (call pf and push any flop) because you can get him to lay down AJ/AQ/AK/pocket pairs on a scary flop. I prefer the S&G but your push is fine.

I probably push, but I am not sure whether the big raise is a weak hand or a reasonably strong hand that doesn't want loose action. A higher ace is possible.

I did not really consider the S&G because I saw the raiser call substantial all ins before with bottom pair and a gutshot.

I guess i just felt funny putting my tournament at risk with just A10, but I do feel it was the right move.

BTW he called with KQo and turned a Q.

The thing with Bodog's structure is that it goes 300/600 then 400/800 but then makes a big jump to 600/1200. I always try to brace myself for that jump because you could have an ok chipstack at 400/800 and then suddenly be on the short side when blinds go up.

That was also a big factor in my decision.
