UTG Limps then re-raises @ 5NL

What you've seen people do that UTG?

Tbh, there are two ways OP could find out whether villain is FOS:

1) Continue
2) Let someone else do the dirty work for him at a later time.

Readless, I'm taking option 2 most of the time depending on stack sizes.

Yes, I've seen both 22 and AJs limp/raise from UTG, I'm sure people do it lighter but I'm yet to see a showdown worse than these hands from an UTG limp/raiser.

I guess more often than not it's the top of villain's range, but you can't just assume a limp/raise from UTG is always KK/AA, because often it's weaker pairs.

The cool part about this spot is that your never exploited by folding anything below KK+. His range is heavily weighted towards KK+ but with some random outburst cus its 5NL aka tiltissues/having fun/etc etc. As i said earlier, folding ATC below KK+ will not break your game @ 5NL, not at all.

Fish limp/raise with a lot of hands. Some only do it with the nuts, but way more do it with dominated hands. Just today a fish limped utg, I raised in the BB to 5x with AQs, he jammed for 40bb. Snap call, he flips over A5o. Fish have wider ranges than we think when they take these lines. But, I guess it's okay to fold without reads, esp oop.

In my experience Fish get into a pushing mode when they get down to 40bb. It's also "cheaper" for them to put moves on you if they constantly see you raising their limps. You will see a lot of Ax, Kx, PP, and sometimes random spazz. 90bb+ and then you will see more AK KK+
