I hate my play here (think i thought BU would be sure to push and wanted to be up against his atc range), but not sure what's best instead. I'm too deep to push; the open fold is weak but raisefolding to a shove from BB sucks too. BB is a solid reg so generally should be tight with 1 player so short and SB is 18/17 after 38 hands and so far has been tight in blinds.
I think I've answered my own question here: a steal raise looks best, followed by just folding. Any other thoughts?
