Default 4/180 Stealing Blinds

I have been very aggressive stealing blinds with little pushback ... there was just a comment "Ming, you don't need to hog all the blinds you know" ... is this a good spot to keep up the pressure?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t800 (7 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

Button (t16096)
Hero (t61042)
BB (t9879)
UTG (t15024)
MP1 (t16337)
MP2 (t21859)
CO (t18700)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">5 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero ???

I'd let this one go. If its been made aware to the table you have been very active, you mgiht get looked up light here and this isnt a hand you want to go to showdown with. Plus you gotta slow down once in a while to keep em guessing.

If BB hasn't been aggressive you can raise/call or limp. If he has been aggressive, just fold PF.

I think pushing is still +EV.

when someone tries to get you to slow down in chat that usually means speed up. So shove

But usually by this stage in BvB I've had 3-4 orbits hopefully and I've did a few competes and a few 3x to see how they react and figure out whats best vs this person.

Bakes,
How can he raise fold? Any raise would pot commit him.
