Hello,
16 players left, 11 prizes (all prizes equal, except last one)
is this ok resteal? Dont have big sample size (90 hands only) but seems like he's a regular tournament player and likes to steal.
What range should I steal here?

(1,000/2,000 blinds, 150 ante) No Limit Hold'em Tournament, 8 Players

CO: 64,841.87 (32.4 bb)
BTN: 25,267.74 (12.6 bb)
Hero (SB): 26,309.13 (13.2 bb)
BB: 24,930 (12.5 bb)
UTG+2: 28,771 (14.4 bb)
MP1: 24,970 (12.5 bb)
MP2: 23,081.76 (11.5 bb)
MP3: 32,357 (16.2 bb)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 9 K
4 folds, CO raises to 4,000, BTN folds, Hero raises to 26,159.13 and is all-in, BB folds, CO calls 22,159.13

Flop: (55,518.26) 4 J 7 (2 players, 1 is all-in)
Turn: (55,518.26) 3 (2 players, 1 is all-in)
River: (55,518.26) 6 (2 players, 1 is all-in)

I'd just fold. I'd rather try first in shoves than resteals with these stack sizes.

I dont think it is a good idea to engage with the chip leader in that spot. We might have more FE, then if it was a regular MTT, cuz its SAT and he prolly wont risk his stack in a marginal spots, but still I prefer folding here.

Also that is a SAT, and seems like the whole table, except that guy, have equal stacksizes, and I think it would be more +EV to push first in applaying pressure on the smaller stackes, than restealing the chipleader.

This! I think that this is really ICM-suicide to make this play.

Thanks guys. Also I forgot to mention I didn't make any resteals at that table before so I believed there are a ton fold equity.

What range would you push here?

I would shove 22+, KJ, KQ, AT+
If BU would min-raise then I think K9s shove is fine, since likely BU is going to raise/fold a lot more often than 32bb stack

best regards,

Hi all,

I think his call range looks something like 22+, AT+, KQ or thereabouts, possibly a bit tighter.

With that in mind, my resteal range looks something like 66+, AT+, KJs+, KQo, and maybe T9s+. Depending on what he is stealing in the first place (ie whether he's tighter than what we expect with stealing) we can start taking out a lot of these hands and really nit it up.

Sorry ATo+, KJs+ and A2s+, all the suited aces are good still for restealing IMO.

hm, I disagree, in a sat with a seat locked up I don't think he is calling anywhere near as wide as that, but we still don't need to jam wide either.

I definitely wouldn't shove 22+ though.

We most likely need exact stacks/positions here.

i agree with all that u shouldnt resteal light here and look for spots to shove first in

when that said i want to add one more thing

U ALL REALLY SHOULD CONSIDER THE FACTS THAT
-VILLAIN IS CHIP LEADER AND HAS MORE THEN 2,5X AVG STACK
- IT IS A SAT
- HE CAN EASILY JUST SIT OUT AND FOLD INTO $$$$
=
HE DONT HAVE ANY NEEDS TO CHIP UP AND STEAL BLINDS

so my resteal range in this spot should be very tight a= only value hands smth like AT+,22+, KQ (and i think that AT/KQ/22-33 are like too loose)

I agree, suited cards are still always better than offsuit cards in this spot, unless villain is really opening tight.
