Default 4/180, good resteal?

Villain has raised past 3 hands in a row and I have been really tight and quiet, is it a good resteal in terms of stack sizes and hand?

I think you have too many chips and it's way too early int he tournament.

This isn't too awful. Would be better if he was button and you were bb, but since he's raising with 3 players to act and you still have 1 to act behind you, I would fold. As other poster said, a lot of times a 2nd or 3rd or 4th raise is often times the "goods", now if the "goods" in this case is AKo or other overs, you do have reasonable equity, coupled with FE, what you don't want is an over pair where you are crushed. I would fold in this spot.

The other significant detail you left out is YOUR image. If your image is not tight in any way, this is WAY obviously a fold.

In a 4/180 I wouldn't recommend such an open resteal too often as they tend to call to much in my opinion. You have enough chips to do this but I think it's a little too early to be risking it when it's easy as can be to get paid off when you really have a hand in these things. Also as others have stated, after "stealing" a few times the chance he's got a better hand then he previously raised with are pretty good. Bottom line is if your ok with occasionally being called by K5 offsuit/a real hand and going broke here then I can see it working, but for my money it's too early to be doing it with junk.
