Facing a re-raise from the BB, no limit multi tournament

Game type: No limit multi-table tournament
Your image: You have been fairly active.
Stage of tourney: 6th level, bubble is nowhere in sight
Avg stack: 8000
Misc notes:
Your hand: K♣Q♣

The Setup:Preflop, the whole table folds around to you in the SB. You decide to make a standard raise with your big suited cards, and are a bit dismayed when the BB makes it 2000 more to go on top of your raise to 1200. What’s your play?

Either push or call and move in on the flop.

Being out of position with a drawing hand, I’ll fold and wait for a better spot.

Push it in. You’re probably ahead of his range. BB is probably thinking you are stealing.

You’re probably going to get it in on the flop anyways if you just call here. If you totally miss and fold the flop, your M

Also, the BB may even fold to your reraise if he is on a re-steal. the pot right now would add to stack nicely.

I’m calling (although I think I would have only completed the blind with this hand at a full table with a less than Avg stack). All-in if I pair either. Check and most likely fold to a bet.

It’s either fold or push and I can’t blame someone for pushing here, but I would fold. This is not the best spot in the tourney for a coin flip. This was a very bad spot to make a move b/c the BB has a large stack and can play back at you, which he did. A medium stack would be a better target.

Also, remember my table image. I have been active so his reraise smells like he’s begging for a call.

I think it really depends on how the BB has been playing you on your left. If he’s been constantly reraising you or if he’s been caught in a few bluffs, then I’m pushing all in here. However, if he hasn’t been out of line, then I’d probably fold. Definitely not call. For what’s it’s worth, I voted push all in here. The blinds are going to be pretty big next level and you’re in the lower half of stacks right now. GO FOR IT!
