11R satellite: One of "those" hands?

[HerbieGRD]

I could probably justify it but I don't think it is correct

[JohnFR]

seke you do realize you become short stack if you fold this(assuming BB folds), and why would the shortest stack need QQ+ AK+ to try to steal 5 handed? I'm short stack I am stealing a lot more hands than that, depending on play I might be stealing like almost any 2(now I would have pushed, but some people just think anytime they raise they are stealing)

Yes, I realize that, but I also realize you're 1 subsequent steal of your own away from being the 3rd smallest stack too.

I guess it would really help to know how Villain has stayed alive so far. When he has raised preflop, has he usually minraised like this, made a standard raise, or moved all in? The minraise scares me a lot here.

I agree with you, but OP didn't mention it so I assumed this was his standard raise? If he had pushed the last 5 times, I may change my answer, but I'm still not sure I would.

The only notable hand saw him limp with aces and pick off someone who pushed a small pocket pair. For the last half hour or so, he's raised once all-in and taken the blinds, and limped marginal hands three or four times. Incredibly passive.

[seke2]

If he's only played 5 hands in the last 30 minutes, this minraise scares me even more.

Agreed. If he wins this hand now you have to make a move. Why not do it with a big hand? Push and hope he was stealing or has a lower pair.
