Hi all, I joined these forums a little while ago but haven’t posted in awhile. Just decided to get back into surfing the forums and such.
So, Saturday, I was playing at a local tournament. Initially a 3 table tournament, there were about 20 people left. The average stack is about 3800, blinds are at 100/200.
I was becoming a real short-stack with about a 2800 stack. The table is somewhat tight with a lot of limpers folding to raisers.
On the button, I am dealt K  J  . Everyone folds to somewhat loose villain in the CO. I’ve seen him steal blinds with 67s, 97s, etc. I’ve also seen him open-raise in middle pos with A9s, A8o, etc. Also, he has about 2900 in chips. He open raises to 600.
Do you attempt to re-steal and ship?

How likely is he to fold? If he's opening a fair amount of hands and he is stupid enough to fold a good chunk of his range here, shoving is easily the best play. If he's going to call a lot, it's not very good.
Also, live tournaments in the Sacramento area are horrible. The structures are a total crap-shoot, and the juice makes the tournaments basically unbeatable.

Hahaha! Yes, I know. I just decided to play, to see what would happen. It wasn't very expensive. 
Anyways, I did see him fold to a BB re-steal twice.
So he is capable of folding but..I wasn't exactly sure how likely he was to fold, I just felt that if he was raising with a marginal hand, my re raise would look strong enough to get him to fold, given my tight image.
So I guess, according to your logic, my shove wasn't the best idea.
Anyways, he called and turned over TT. I didn't hit anything.

So, you think shippin' wasn't a bad idea? I don't think I can just call that, especially with a low M like that.
