    Default BvB, reraising with 67

    I'm running a bit short here on this $6.50 table. The sb's min-raise looks like a blind steal here. Do I have enough FE to make this move? I seriously doubt it, but perhaps people have thoughts on this hand?

    EDIT: The blinds are 100/200 with an ante

    5 players
    [SB] diva_jenny (2985)
    [BB] Hero (1739)
    [1] emily4 (3354)
    [2] iguanarana (1862)
    [b]MePiJuWe (3560)

    Hero 6 7 Initial Pot: 425

    emily4 folds
    iguanarana folds
    MePiJuWe folds
    diva_jenny raises to 400
    Hero is All in

    Whenever you make a move like this, you need to think about a few things:

    a) The pot odds that opp has to call your raise. In this case opp is getting 1.6 to 1 odds which isn't a "must call" but certainly isn't a "must fold".
    b) Reads on opp. If he's been super tight then he may well have a hand here; if he's been loose then the problem is he may call your shove even with marginal hands.
    c) The playability of your remaining stack if you fold. In this case you will have ~7.5x BB left which, although short, still has some FE.
    d) How your hand fares against SB's likely range if you're called. If you do get called you do not dominate anything and are at best a 60/40 dog.

    Considering those factors, I don't like this shove over, I think you can find a better spot.

    Agreed. I don't like this shove either, although she has shown previously that is prepared to raise from the sb into the bb. Normally I'm much more cautious in these situations but I used my read, plus likelihood that this was a blind steal to make this reraise. I don't think I'll be trying this soon again tho....

    you should only do this if you think you're ahead of his range IMO.. you're better of shoving next hand from SB when it's folded to you with such a healthy stack..
