Villan was australian and had been moved to my table about 3 orbits ago and raising a lot from late position. Haven't really used the go and go consciously before (i.e. w/ marginal holdings), so was wondering if what I did made sense.

Full Tilt Poker $32,000 Guarantee No Limit Hold'em Tournament - t150/t300 Blinds + t25 - 9 players
The Official 2+2 Hand Converter Powered By DeucesCracked.com

MP1: t2890
MP2: t9857
CO: t25032
BTN: t3195
Hero (SB): t8889
BB: t7559
UTG: t3275
UTG+1: t8166
UTG+2: t17330

Pre Flop: (t675) Hero is SB with J

4 folds, UTG+2 says "ty", MP2 raises to t800, 2 folds, UTG+2 says "but i dont believe u had tt", Hero raises to t2600, 1 fold, UTG+1 says "not?", UTG+1 says "ok wait a minute", MP2 calls t1800

Flop: (t5725) J

(2 players)
Hero bets t6264 all in, MP2 calls t6264

I think QJ is too weak and you're slightly deep

I agree. You have 30 bbs and time to be patient. No need to force anything here.

Fold this pre, your not a good restealing stack size right now nor deep enough for this to be profitable. 15-20bb sure ship is fine or 50bb+ you could make a play here, your in the middle so just fold. You could obviously do this if it was btn v blind

If you were a little deeper, I'd like this play from the button, where I'd bet/fold the flop. As it is, I think I'd fold PF and feel good about it.

Fold pre. Not a good situation to be making resteals.

But it's close because of stack size. You picked the wrong moment for the right play. QJ is a good resteal hand.

This. Has restealing gone out of style while I've been in a coma or something?

No it's just matured and it's all about stack size. If villain can't call two bets it's a good play. If he can, might as well wait for a better spot.
