Default $3.40 PS less than 10bb is this bad?

How was this reraise? My thought process was: I was a nit having not played a single hand yet, the guy to my left was sitting out the entire game, the blinds were about to go up to $200, I had less 7bb after posting the small, villian has done the same raise several times making it appear like a steal. I didn't have enough for a reraise, so I went all-in. I think I'm a fav against ATC and not a big underdog against overcards.

You can find a better spot here. He can't fold to your reraise, so this is essentially the same as calling if he were to open with a push. You have 915 if you fold and 6 hands to find a good spot to push for 6bbs...that's way more appealing to me than racing with Q8o.

I pass here as you have a marginal hand, almost certainly behind raiser and virtually no FE.

Also people at 3.40 or even the majority at 6.50 will not even notice you are bing a nit.

You just have to wait for a better spot or a better hand here.

This is not good. Fold preflop^.

Please read the FAQ and convert your hand.

As has been said no fold equity over his raise, let this go and try find a spot to open push over this.
