    Default JJ limp re-raised by lagg

    Villain is 36/14 over ~900 hands. I've only been at the table an orbit. UTG limp re-raises signal big hands to me, but I've never seen one from an opp with such a high PFR%. What's your play/plan?

    Full Tilt Poker - No Limit Holdem Ring game - Blinds: $0.50/$1 - 8 players - Converter

    Stack sizes:
    UTG: $67.25
    UTG+1: $94.35
    MP1: $66.35
    MP2: $99.95
    Hero: $98.50
    Button: $40.90
    SB: $126.70
    BB: $88.85

    Pre-flop: (8 players) Hero is CO with J J
    UTG calls, 3 folds, Hero raises to $4, 3 folds, UTG raises to $13, Hero...

    If you've played 900 hands against a guy, you should understand the general character of his game, and no one can tell you the right play here but you.

    I probably fold.

    Mostly mined. I've played ~60 hands with him and he's laggy and likes to play table captain. He bluffs and has shown down marginal hands, but isn't terrible. I've never seen him limp re-raise.

    we can pretty much put him on two hands, no matter what his stats.

    Ok, thanks. This is why I posted the hand. To get opinions like this, or contrary.

    I agree with Miffed. I've seen AA or KK 99% of the time when someone limp re-raises. I don't see the +EV in a call.

    ive seen it with AA/KK/AK, the other day this guy limpreraised me with JJ and I stacked him with my KK. People also do it with small pairs a lot (i have).

    limp- reraise steal? isn't a bad idea actually is it, especially against a fairly LAG player. I will have to consider adding that one- obviously not a move you make often, and def not against a calling station donk, but I like the idea.

    For once i disagree.

    Folding> 3betting hard > calling.

    I want to see a flop and if he's FoS, I want him to bet into me as it would be a $26ish pot with $50ish behind.

    arent we commited if we call any sort of flop type lead when the flop likes us? Opp leads half potish on low board (50ish pot with 35-40behind?)
    I like JJ as a hand but i dont like going busto with it in spots like this.

    It's not a full buy-in and I think he's FoS. I'm fine with stacking off for 67bb on a nothing board. My only alarm bell here is that he happens to be EXACTLY UTG.

    that was my reason for putting him on two hands, if he'd been UTG+1 or even any other seat bar the sb id have called for sure and have considered strongly stacking off for 2/3rds a stack versus a player i assume to have a precarious/gambooling image (slaggy) but then thats mybe contradictory. Should we really be stacking off here despite opp being slaggy...?

    I do it against late position isolationists but I'd never do it w/AA/KK. I usually have 9Ts or 66. If he doesn't really have a read on you it makes his hand range more narrow and more of a fold.

    i think if u do it with air, you need to at least occasionally show up with KK+ for balance

    UTG + limp re-raise, = AA or KK most of the time
    also
    UTG + min raise, then re-raise = AA or KK most of the time

    especially from a 14% PFR
