    2) Okay well I was fooling around with my itunes and I accidentally min raised this when the Stars window popped up. Sooo stupid. Now that I've gone ahead and done that, should I reraise him preflop? Now putting that aside, what the hell is this flop? I had no useful reads on the guy.

    Hand 1: I probably call and raise all in on any turn.
    Hand 2: $20 preflop? Fold as played.
    Hand 3: I bet the flop because I always bet the flop in reraised pots and it's too obvious that u have AA. Everyone knows anyway when u bet the turn.

    1. call and allin on most turns
    2. preflop fine (other than minraise) instacall flop.
    3. Yea u need to bet more on the turn, so you'll align the potsize such that the river all in is 1/2-3/4 of the pot. Bet the flop. Your range hits this flop. He knows this (unless he's a tard). So just cut the crap and bet

    ignoring the minraise with the AA in the 2nd hand (which is even worse because of the person posting 3xsb), you really have to 4-bet this pre. WAY too little of your stack goes in pre here. Flop play is almost insignificant as far as advice goes until you understand this. Assuming the SB is a competant player, him folding to your 4-bet is a much better result then the +EV situation he's set himself up for if he has half a clue.

    I don't think its as bad as you're saying. She has position and she's closing the action, so she is guaranteed to see the flop heads up with position.

    The only thing about "not enough stack going in preflop" is that she'll have to get away from her hand sometimes. However, assuming he has a sane threebetting range, the worst case scenario for this flop is TT.

    As played (having goofed the minraise) I probably would have just called as well, because fourbetting would turn my cards over, and his threebet has already defined his hand well for us.
