This hand came up with 80 left, 54 make money. The SB is a good regular (opr = 10-15% roi, >1000 tourneys) who has become LAG since antes kicked in. When it folded to him I fully expected a raise as he had been doing so every time to me in BB.

Blinds 400/800 w/100 ante.

6 folds. Pot 2000.
SB (19,060) raises to 2300.
BB (26,764) 10

raises to 8,800
SB pushes all in.
BB....

Thoughts on reraise? Call/Fold? thanks.

I would usually just push all in instead of 3-bet to 8.8k, but the reraise size is fine only if you are still getting it in on any flop (outside of AKQ perhaps). After he pushes its an ez call.

You're going to be getting 2.7:1 on a possible flip (and you could dominate his 77-99), call.

I personally raise it from 2300->6500. This gives the villain the idea that if he 4bet shoves, he will have fold equity, and thus shove even lighter than the range you have given. Either way, he he has AA, KK, QQ I'll be dominated and getting it in, but for the times he has 22-99, i want to give him that reason to get it in dominated.

call...you can't be raising a massive % of your stack and not call a shove.

looks fine to me, i raise less but with the intent of calling his shove anyways. or just shove instead of raising...

and as far as folding here, never. thats horrible.

So, is the following reasoning totally off and/or weak?

"Villain is good player and is putting tourney life at risk, you have folded 3 straight BB to him, and been at table w/him for ~200 hands playing TAG. So you probably have a hand. Thus his range is weighted towards AK, JJ+."

p.s., i called so i'm not defending a fold (i actually wanted a shove and reraised a little large to look 'scared'), I'm just wondering if there is any possible way to find a fold given the shove.

No way you can fold here after your raise. This is BvB so you gotta think his range is wide enough to get it in good. And good players don't think about their "tournament life", they make plays that they think are +ev whether they are risking their tournament life or not.
