Ok so here we have loose-aggressive player, who was open-pushing all in from MP3 preflop in first hand of SNG. Now this was my thinking:
1) minR in my expiriance from someone who open-push is probably small pair or some suited middle connectors from that kind of player
2) i had overpair, and he bets pot size bet. They pritty always minB or slowplay when they hit strong or have strong overpair, so this bet i see like buying a pot
3) think this player will pay with two overcards or small pair

Qustion:
Its def bad play i push there, but what card can come that im going to get more chips from him, in some funny feeling i think i have to take him as many chips as i can (from that sort of player, because he will not last long before others take it) but then... i think i risk too much. Help....please :f_biggrin:

ok. pre-flop we are playing for set-value only.

So if you dont hit a set dont put any more chips into the pot. This rule will keep it very easy and you wont get into tough spots with a weak overpair.

Mid over-pairs are hard to play and the best advice I can give is to stick to a 'no set no bet' strategy when playing them. So even with an overpair (if you were just playing for set value) dont put any more chips in without a set.

You can call a small bet if you wish, to try get to the river cheap. But when he pots it he is usually strong and you have to commit a lot of chips to continue which is not advisable with this hand.
