Default what do you push/resteal with here?

BoDog 4k.
27 cash, currently 30 left.
Average stack ~ 9000, I have ~ 5000.
Blinds are 400-800 with 100 ante.
No read on opponent (new to table).

Folds to SB (who has about 4000) who minraises to 1600.

Without using an equity model (icm, etc) or getting into the math too much yet (I already did, and am a bit surprised with the result)... what hands do you push over him with here?

Default Re: what do you push/resteal with here?

Gut reaction: Any pair, any suited Ace, KQ, and 2 suited 9+

In the heat of the moment, I'd probably be a lot more weak-tight than that.

edit: But if I knew the player was solid, that miniraise scares me.

Weak-tight approach:
I will assume that I have 0 FE agains a semi-thinking opponent (with no reads) and will probably need an slightly BETTER than average hand to push here. Top 25%, probably. I'm pretty much sure I will be better off pushing with a much wider range from either SB / Button / CO / CO-1...

2+2 approach:
With his raise there's now 3200 in the pot, he has 2300 left behind and I doubt he's folding, so I need to pay 3100 to see the pot of 5500, so you're getting 1:1.77 on your push and you're pretty much correct to push any two unless your opponent is a certified Rock.
