I've been having trouble with this aspect of the game. Let's say I have 1300 chips and blinds are 50/100. I'm in SB and action folds to me, and I have a hand like A5s, J9s, KTo, or 87s. Let's say BB is a tight player and has 1100 chips. If I want to make a steal here, do I shove or raise? The problem is, I always try a raise to say 250 or 300 and then they shove over the top of me. It's uncanny how often it happens, especially considering the players have been playing tight- I can only take it to mean that my move looks like such a blatant steal that their range is widened. Should I just shove when i steal in these cases or wait for better hands to steal with?
Another problem happens if they just flat it. Then if the flop misses me, I'm OOP and open to be outplayed. Any advice for these situations?
