Default \'resteal\'/push late in Stars 4/180 Sit \'n go

Hi Guys, I just wanted to ask if this was a good spot for a 'resteal'. 4/180 stars sng, nearing the bubble (about 30 left). Pretty passive table, my image is tight, since I tripled up very early on and have been playing few pots since on this table.

I felt the raise by button was a steal (he had been raising first in 4/5 times already since coming to the table, so apretty wide opening range) and the flat call by sb = ? Button is a typical 4/180 player, sb is tighter than most, but not extremely. Comments on the situation, stacks, shove reraise more than welcome! Is this standard / over-agressive / too big a bet, is it the right hand to do it with etc.?

Looks fine to me.

But since you have a hand does this techically qualify as a resteal?

i dont think this is a resteal technically, and with the sb call it's more of a squeeze. and bc you actually have a hand i think it's standard. it's all semantics anyway. looks fine, esp with your read.

Thanks for the feedback!

I was in doubt, because the rest of the hand didn't go to plan. Button folded, as expected. However, sb went into the tank and eventually called, showing AK. No improvement for me and I finished 18th eventually, feeling I maybe shouldn't have made the move against another big stack and maybe wait for better spots. But thats just results oriented thinking.

Btw. if in villains (sb's) spot: do you call the all in with AK?

I'm not sure I love this play with a raise and a caller... If sb folded, I'd still have to think about it before pushing. I've lost more tourneys restealing with weak aces... Also, if you're tripled up early, you should definitely be stealing in position. Chips are one of your main weapons.. use them!
