Opp was a TAgg here. Had been mixing up his raises between 2xBB and 3xBB. Is this standard? Is there any other way to play small pocket pairs OOP to a preflop raise?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (2 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

Button (t8840)
Hero (t4660)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 5, 5.
Button raises to t400, Hero raises to t4635

 I dunno, you still have 22 bb's, you don't exactly need to push here. If you want to win it right there a raise to 1000 would do the same I think. I would most likely just call and play for a set value or a terrible ragged flop.

If you have AA instead of 55 would you just reraise AI like that? You would want to get some value from it, so by not rasining AI you are saying "big hand." If I have learned anything it is that big raises AI's usually don't want a call.

I agree, would have been better to raise to 1200 rather than push. That said, if you are opp, what is your hand range to call this push?
