Agressive Small Blind

I ran into a situation last night, and I am looking for some advice. Can't get this crap out of my head.

Low limits MTT, started with over 4000, we are below 500 and in the money.

I had been playing with the same villian to my right for over two hours. My take on him was that he is tight aggressive, had not seen him in any showdowns. The problem I was having was that every single time it was folded around to him in the small blind he would push all in. He had about 1/2 the chips in my stack. I was at 9k, a little less that chip average and he was making a living off my BB. This literally happened 6 times, and every single time I had no hand that was remotely worth 1/2 my chips. I even let the time clock time out, just to let him know I was aware of his stealing. I know my image was tight/aggressive because I raised from early position twice with AQ and no callers.

The villain had just won a big pot and was now about 8k, and once again, my big blind get folded around to him, this time he limps in, I am tilted by this situation and push all in with my K-10, thinking that he just won a bunch of chips and wont want to let them go. But he calls with A-2, spikes an A.

I wish that I would have not been seeing red! I played this horribly. But I think I would have called another all in move with the K-10, maybe not because I would be crippled.

In any case, just looking for advice on how to handle this situation. I don't like getting my big blind run over, especially when the blinds and anti's are worth keeping.

I was reading an article on this site and it was a +ev move from his standpoint, I don't know about him pushing all his chips in everytime though. I certainly would have called with a mid pocket pairs or two paints after the third time.

Thanks for the help!

Much depends on how big the blinds and antes were relative to the stacks. If you're 20bb deep his shoving in the SB every time is probably -EV. Eventually you're going to have a premium hand and take all of his chips. If you're fairly short stacked, his shoving nearly any two cards here is probably +EV. Depending on the stack sizes and the antes, your shove with KT might have been good too, not sure.

Post some hands over in the MTT forum and people will help you out.
