    Guy is short staked and this is a turbo - blinds are moving up to 50/100 in 1 minute. This guy is making a pot sized raise, but looks like a good time to repop as I think I might be in front of his range, or does the book say fold and wait for a better spot? The answer may be simple, but I am wondering if this move is +EV in the long run or is my A9os to wide and too light to re-steal with him having so small of a stack? I am trying to get better at SnG strategy so any help would be appreciated. The villain had been limping a lot of pots earlier on in the game, and got involved in a big pot, but didn't make a showdown - I would category this player as OK at best and semi-LAG.

    is this post a joke?

    first off, there's an under the gun limper who is a big stack, very easily could have a huge hand

    second the guy who raises has 800 chips, he is raising to 270 here, basically committing himself to the pot

    third, you have a9, you dominating pretty much nothing here, you are dominated by numerous hands, so basically, by reraising you're praying to get in a flip with a short stack and pray again the limper has nothing

    sorry, but this isn't even close, fold
