    Default Not sure if this was worth the risk.

    Don't have the hand history, but it isn't really needed.

    $1/$2NL cash game on Pokerstars, fairly strong table. I raise to $6 with 7-7 UTG, pretty good aggressive player calls next to act, an aggressive player who reraises a lot preflop makes it $24. He had done this at least a dozen times in under an hour, and I felt the caller widened his range even further. I think for a moment and reraise enough to put both villains all-in for $200. Bad play, right?

    Why not wait to do this with a hand that would fair better against his calling range?

    not a big fan of it given your image and position but it's probably a bit closer than most people would think.

    it's great to have AA/KK/AK in this spot but we just have to work with what we've got! small-mid pairs/suited aces figure to have about 30% equity against any reasonable calling range so just figure out about what % of his range you think can be folded out and it's pretty simple to estimate the approximate EV.

    from what i get from his posts, dsaxton probably has a tight / straight forward image, which makes the play pretty good

    my experience is that most people tend not to 3-bet squeeze utg raises from tight/straight forward players with a big range, even if they have the appearance of 3-betting light.

    Is calling out of the question?

    No, that's probably what I should have done. But seeing around $40 in the pot, I decided to make a reraise that I felt he couldn't call most of the time.

    I'd like it better if your raise was from the CO.
    Normally, even aggro players dont mess with UTG raises.
