    Default Is this bad?

    This is a satellite to the WSOP. Top ten get packages. I'm currently about 42/88.

    I know villain is raising some garbage as shown in this hand.

    tough spot. Hand 1 is irrelevant, he called a re raise here which I assume he isn't doing with trash.

    Your stack size is awkward. I can understand not wanting to push pre flop, but given pot size I just can't see him folding many hands you beat here.

    Moving in pre flop is OK.

    This is OK.

    It sounds crazy but I could see check calling the flop. He should push more hands than he'll call with - certainly he won't push less. If he checks, you can push the turn and it may look like you were slow playing a big hand.
