Default $225: On bubble with CL, reshove, right?

Unknown villain, but seemed to play reasonably so far, and I don't think he's doing this with junk. Gotta push this, or no?

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t400 with t25 antes (4 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

CO (t4040)
Hero (t8855)
SB (t150)
BB (t455)

Preflop: Hero is in Button with 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
<font color="red">CO raises to t800</font>, <font color="red">Hero raises to t8830 (All-in)</font>

If he knows what he's doing and he's seen you own here (I'm assuming), he's trying to induce a shove, isn't he? Plus, you're guaranteed a showdown with SB (at least) with trash, which might affect the HU dynamic when you get there. Heck, even if he makes a mistake and calls here with something like 99, you end up losing a lot compared to the relative value of what you get when he folds (which will often be less than the full 800 when you lose a showdown with one of the blinds).

I don't know, I don't play at this level, but it seems like a marginal value to me.

SB is all in due to the blind, so its not like if you beat him he finishes OOP. SB still has to beat him with his random hand. it seems like the only reason to minraise instead of shoving is to induce a shove by you. from his standpoint, it makes since if he can reasonably expect you to reshove him with ATC.

i'd expect to get called near all the time. his range should be composed of only high pairs. but i'm on a downswing, so maybe my sng thinking is going out of the loop.

With SB allin, I think you can let this go. BB will usually call here as well even if you shove. So no incentive for CO to fold.

i fold in this spot.

bb will usually call his last 30 chips then co can call if he has anything as it would take a small miracle for him to finish ootm.

Id just fold because the SB is allin and because everyone will call and then the guy will probably just figure he wont get last place so he will call. Sorry for bad grammar too lazy to edit

What do you guys think about flatting and then taking it away postflop instead? I think i prefer that better than the aipf which to a competent player should be pretty transparent

I don't like that play because if you make him fold there will still be 2 others in the pot and you'll only scoop 400 in the event that UTG folds. I think this is a fold.
