The only thing the over bet 4x raise does is to force yourself to call/shove a reraise since you are further vested.It sounds like you have a lot of individual dynamics going on at the table.

I think the worst thing you can do is change your bet sizing. Was this as awful as I think it was? Would shoving, limping, or 2.5x betting been a better play given the dynamics of the table? Any advice on what to do in a situation like this where the big stacks are repopping guys on a regular basis? I decided that I wanted to show real strength here and I overbet it to 8k. The fact that they were suited made me a little more comfortable betting out. For the record I personally hate AJ in early position. The chip average at this point was 40k and we had two big stacks w/approximately 80k and 100k at the table. With this in mind I was dealt AJ suited from one off the gun w/the blinds at 800/1600 and a stack of just under 30K. Although having that donk behind me could be a good thing, there was a very real possibility that I may have to decide if I want to put my tournament life on the line if he makes another one of his donkey shoves. I had seen him repop raisers and call all in reraises w/garbage like 78os at least three times already. There was also a player one off the button that was playing like he was drunk or high. The table was fairly tight except for a couple of the big stacks who would regularly 3 bet small raises when players were betting 2.5 to 3x the bb out of position (I had been repopped two or three times already and folded each time and I am sure they were taking note of this). There were just under 1200 entrants and we were down to the final 76. Last night I was running deep into a $27 mtt on PS. Sorry guys I don't have a hand convertor yet.
