Minraise...

Easy if you have any reads on him that he's loose I think.

I'm not sure about this but I guess they do that frequently enough with KJ, KT QJ types of hands to push there generally, but would be happy to hear some comments about this hand as well since I'm not that great with re-raises.

This guy was a LAG.
I should have mentioned that earlier. Sorry.

When you're so short facing a CO open I shove.

His minraise suggests he's just begging for action. Although I would shove every time here, I don't think you're going to get a much better opportunity.

This is a very important factor in SNG play. That being said I am not up to date on current SNG theory. If someone could share their strategy so that we can discuss that would be great.
