More information please. Has he been raising pf a lot? I know you don't have a specific pf read, but if you've seen him play lots of flops, surely you have something to tell us.

Since you have a lot of equity on the flop as he has been bullying around, I think this hand has good enough deception value for a call, given your good stack size. Just call; if A or Q comes up, check/trap. Otherwise, let it go.

Pushing here preflop isn't terrible. Is this a rebuy? Uuuh - let's put it this way:

If it's a rebuy, push &gt; call
If it's not a rebuy, Call &gt; push.

no rebuy and he played many pots limping most of them ... i am quit unsure facing big (&gt; 5 bb) raises when beein in bb - even with good hands. in pokertracker i am a looser for hands from blinds ... maybe i fold to much(therefore beein raised more often)

I'm not sure I'm wild about calling off 15% of your stack, out of position, against this player. It isn't a ton of chips to call, but I think the situation is good enough for a resteal here. Any meaningful raise will likely pot commit you, so I'd be inclined to shove it all in.

Calling is the safer approach, and you're likely to win an additional bet from the guy if you hit the flop and check to him before pouncing. However, I think it's likely you have the best hand now, and you have a much better chance of whiffing the flop than hitting it.

I would push.

I don't like calling very much here OOP. Buy-in would be helpful.
