Preflop: Hero is MP2 with Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t150</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP3 raises to t300</font>, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, Hero ?

if villian is loose/has done this before i look to get it all in preflop

if i havent seen this before i tend to play it a bit slower but i don't often get away from this on safe flops because people do this with really weird hands in low buyin tournies

push

you are out of position and will have to abandon the hand on any A or K on the flop.

people often do these mini-reraises with any stuff, down to small PP or ATs, so i think you are in front here most of the time.

Pushing probably isn't bad, but its quite the overbet. Alternatively you could make it like 1100 and if just called, jam just about any flop.

[sledghammer]

Since MP3s stack is 3700 (and blinds are 25 50), you have to have some kind of read on him, unless you were just moved last hand. I typically flat call this, and play semi-cautiously post flop against reasonable tags.

I like 900 and shove the flop.

ok heres why i just flat called. reraising allows my opponent to play better. he can fold his weaker hands and shove on hands that have me crushed or flipping kk aa ak. perhaps 10's jj aq call too.on the flop i can extract more from him when im ahead and fold if a king or ace falls if i chose. by calling he has gained no info about my hand which is one of the reasons a mini reraise is a play i almost never use. if i do im messing w someones head more than anything
