Final Pot: t23

Should I have just pushed instead of raising 3BB? Even though I have 0 FE, I thought that I at least had two overcards or 2 live cards...

if you have no evidence that BB likes to resteal this is a clear fold, your hand is too weak.
i even would not think of a resteal here, cause BB didn't push but mini-reraises you committing half his stack to the pot - i would expect some high PP or AK.
and with a T and a J you will me dominated more often than you have live-cards.

MV,

If I were to open this hand from the CO with your stack, yes I would just push. Whether I push or not depends on what I know about the button, sb &amp; BB.

As played I may just fold and find another spot to push w/in the next few hands. Some may disagree, but with BB's reraise it looks like he's got a fair amount of hands that have you slaughtered. ie - big pairs.

alright, thanks.
