Is this hand just ul or do I need the nuts to be calling??
Unless you have good notes on BB, that he will fold a lot - then raise to steal.
Sometimes you just have to give the BB a walk.
At least you still had 12 BB's left which is plenty.
Or just let them get on with it against the shorty?
as i said this is still in its experimental stage so please don't take anything as gospel or even as sensible.
standard dym play would have you chillaxing and letting the others fight it out.
but this can go on a long time (re Tikay's comment of blinds sometimes at 400/800 even with 5 peeps left)
so for now i am maintaining the aggressive concept, but with adjustments.
ie seeing more flops cheaply if i can, attacking shorties when i have good hands etc.
Aggression uber alles, and all the time.
Food for thought
I'm not so hot with aggression, at least not until we go 4 handed then it's chocks away, but your all round aggression is a potent weapon, & is why you are - I hope & assume - doing so much better.

Not to mention, us re-shipping might lead BB to fold a hand he would otherwise go with (where we could potentially be down to 4 players left)
1. What would you do in villains place?
2. What would you do in the same position but with each others cards?
On the counterfeit of my low cards, an Ace would give me top pair and a 2 would give me bottom set, not ideal, but if I'm putting Random on an Ace, then there are only 2 Aces and 2 deuces left in the deck.
I know this was a marginal spot, but with a limited amount of time available to make a decision, it is difficult to run through every +EV or -EV. I decided to re-raise because I was out of position, and also decided, if necessary, to play for stacks, mainly because I had Random covered and I thought my hand had good high and low possibilities
Also in my mind, when the blinds reach 100/200, you are going to have to flip sooner rather than later, and this was as good a hand as any to go to war with.

2) If I had Randoms cards in my positon, I don't like my high draw, so prob fold.
In answer to the question, no, "random" cannot, ever, fold here, having already potted it. We also know his likely range is "solid" at worst, he's not a roffler.
To me, this is not so much about hand values (you had 55% equity as it happens) as SNG tactical awareness, spatial awareness if you like, especially as to......
a) the other players relative abilities.
b) Their stack sizes
2 of the other players were clearly "inexperienced", & one of them was Mr Shortie. So personally, I'm attacking them, not the other big stacks or experienced players. I prefer to fight easy battles.
Also, based on "GAP", once the raise has come in, our hand is not, imo, strong enough to go to war. (As it happens, it was, but you did not know that).
More importantly, it does not NEED to go to war. This is key.
Personally, & in your spot, once the raiser had opened, I'm stepping aside.
Why go to war when there are easier ways to win this?
On balance, I don't think either player did much wrong. Pretty sure the best man won it, too.
Those of us who cross swords with you regularly know that when you raise, you won't be backing down, & this does, or should, affect how we play against you.
That assumes, of course, you are playing in GeldMode # 13 at the time.
I have observed that in GeldMode #'s 4 & 7, you do fold to aggression.
I think you should add a note to your Field Address so we know which GeldMode you are currently playing. It's must unfair that you mix it up.
Due to my lunatic tendencies, I've just completed another challenge. To prove my colour coding (red player = nutjob calling station) I've been raising into them all day, with or without a hand, to see how many straight calls/re-raises I could get. After an initial failed start of only 5 calls before I got a fold, I then continued and battered my previous record. I hit 40 today!
Job done.
Now all I need to do is try to play properly and win back the £97,000 I've lost.
