    Has he been stealing? If so, it looks good.

    Do you have any idea what his calling range is?

    Can anyone tell me the numbers if he raises there with 30% of hands, and then only calls with 88+, AT+, KQ+?

    I think its a push. Although minraises tend to confuse the shit out of me.

    I think I would need a bit more info first.

    How often has villian been raising?
    How has he acquired his chips? (won a couple of big pots with big hands or won lots of little pots?)
    What kind of hands has he been showing down?

    The min-raise is a bit strange. Is this a deliberate underbet because he wants one of you to move or is it just a lazy blind steal that can fold to a re-raise?

    My other concern would be the guy (red orchid) sitting behind. He is down to 930 with his 200 in, which means that he is instantly getting 1925+200+400:930 ..... 2525:930 ..... ~2.7:1 to call now. Do you think he might come in here? How has he been playing? Maybe the raise is directed more at him than you.

    Do u actually want a call here?

    sorry if this is a bit disjointed, just getting my thought pattern down.

    I would push. AJ short-handed is premium.

    He is the chipleader and may be stealing, after 2 people folding before him.

    Even if he has any kind of cards, will he put his stack in risk on a re-raise?

    Push or fold, assuming you've seen min raises from him before I push.

    I like the push. The minraise is probably aimed at BB who has a tough choice here--his stack is small enough that the minraise is enough to get him to fold unless he has a hand. My guess is the raiser has a small-medium pp or a bad ace. Besides aren't most the folks in the step fives very reluctant to call allin (from other big stacks)? If u were bb I might call instead though. And slam on the continuation bet.
