Default $27: Stealraise on the Button with A2 getting reraised

Hi,

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t150 (6 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

UTG (t2515)
UTG+1 (t3760)
CO (t895)
Hero (t2960)
SB (t1130)
BB (t2240)

Preflop: Hero is in Button with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
<font color="gray">UTG folds</font>, <font color="gray">UTG+1 folds</font>, <font color="gray">CO folds</font>, <font color="red">Hero raises to t400</font>, <font color="red">SB raises to t1130 (All-in)</font>, <font color="gray">BB folds</font>, <font color="gray">Hero folds</font>

I hate these spots. SB was a solid regular and after his reraise I get nice pot odds, but I'm probably dominated or I'm against a pocketpair. Do you call anyway or do you fold? When would you call?
Thanks [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

If you don't call now then you should not raise, really.

on the contrary make the preflop raise 600. U prob have the best hand against 2 random hands and 600 will discourage any resteal from the sb as he knows that you are committed if he reraises all-in. Also, you are not risking your entire stack against the BB

it is probably less terrible to just push straight away then. Still folding is the best

[/ QUOTE ] I think that pushing 15xBB is is an unnecessary risk with A2. Not every decision in an stt is push/fold. It is possible sometimes to actually play a flop [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Why fold a hand that is likely the best (and in position)?
