The three players left to act are all winning players, and i have been tight all game.

Do we like this?

Poker Stars $15+$1 No Limit Hold'em Tournament - t75/t150 Blinds - 6 players

Hero (CO): t1805 M = 8.02
BTN: t2245 M = 9.98
SB: t1250 M = 5.56
BB: t1930 M = 8.58
UTG: t2680 M = 11.91

Pre Flop: (t225) Hero is CO with T

2 folds, Hero raises to t300, 3 folds

Your stack size is just too short for it imo. If you had say 2300 then fine I don't mind it, but you are bluffing away a big chunk of your equity here for a small reward.

Plus, I'll cotton on to you and start reshoving you light!

Hey, i was just heads up with you.

Yeah i thought it was marginal.

I've just been experimenting with adding in a few more steals here, because i feel like if i get AA and min raise its way to obvious. I think i need to find some spots to mix in some small raises or ill never get shoved over...

Agree with NJD. Also I think A2o is a better hand to steal with in a spot like this, no regs will really flat you here so do it with a hand that has better card removal effects
