Slightly tricky situation. Sometimes a min-raise like that is going to be aces or kings, and with no read on villain it's difficult to say.

However, most likely this is just the good ole "defending the blinds" routine. He puts you on a steal and goes for a resteal with some semihand like Ax or KQ. I think I'd definitely go for a reraise for about 2k here. No point comitting your whole stack with a push. If he's got the real goods he'll move all-in and you can fold and still have a reasonably-sized stack.

You'll have a tough decision on the flop if he just calls though. Probably fold to the first bet then, or try to take it away if the flop is undercards and you're feeling ballsy.

can someone at least tell me why this hand is so simple it deserves no responces? I really want to know if this is an easy push or if it merely a call?

[ZeTurd]

Well.. You actually got a response, but I'm not sure if it counts if your postcount is less than 10.000.000 [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Call. See a flop. Evaulate. Does the hand get more interesting on later streets? No need to reraise now, you're too deep to fold here, you've got the implied odds to call the reraise even if it's just for set value, and you can consider betting an undercard flop or flop with only 1 overcard depending on how your opponent acts.

[shmoosh]

There's no way I call here, what would you do out of position when overcards appear on the flop? You've got to reraise, you're way ahead of average player's range. I'd make it 2000-2500 to go. You're stacks are a little too deep to push here, but I would call a push by the villain. If he only calls, we'll have to decide what to do depending on the flop.
