What we said then: In this situation a reshove all in is best here because the villain had been extremely active. This means that my A10 is well ahead of his range because he’s opening any suited connector, any pair, any ace and most kings, this means that he needs at least AJ and at least 77 to profitably call the reship, therefore, the majority of the time he will be folding to the shove making it profitable to reship.

What actually happened: You re-raised and villain folded.

With an effective M of 5 my shoving range in this spot is 66+ A7+ and KQ.

Pretty basic stuff; an over-active opponent raises, a standard 3-bet commits you to the pot, so you might as well go all in. ATs is more than enough to push here. Easy shove.

I am in favor of simply calling, because being in the blind gives you some deception value.

He is probably betting any flop whether he hits or not. If we are lucky enough to hit the flop, we are likely doubling up. If not, I am still calling or raising unless the flop is pretty terrible (for example, containing K and Q, which puts most of his range as a favorite)
