    As u can c its folded round to the button who has raised from this position twice previously in the last 5 orbits. The SB is sitting out so is liable to be attacked. I am in the BB. I have an M - ratio of 10 so i could have RR but I felt like I had more fold equity if I re-shoved. I have been playin supertight pushbot style and have not RR'd once. I felt this was a +ev move as so often he would be weak raising here but any other suggestions would b gr8ly appreciated. Thanks,

    I tend to be tight at times, but IMO, this is not a good spot. K5 is fine for stealing but not too good if the pot is already open. With an M of 10, you could pick a better spot.

    I don't think this is a good shove. Although he could be stealing, ur not hurting and have plenty of play left, seeing this is when you are in push or fold mode...with 7 ppl left and him stealing 2 out of the last 5 orbits isn't anything worth "finding out" if he has a real hand. To me, stealing 150 when he has a good stack is pointless....so therefore, I would just wait...fold and keep ur 15bb stack. Sngs do not allow for error on the restealing and you really only have 3 outs and that's IF he has QQ or lower....ur at best hoping for a 60/40 if he calls with an AQ or something (which would be dumb IMO)...His stack+early levels=no pt in calling a reshove that doesn't have you crushed....
