    Default UTG Limp Reraise

    I havent experienced this at NL before...

    Its like the second hand of my session, so I've obviously not seen him limp/raise before..

    UTG Limps
    youre in mp with KK
    You 5x it
    SB calls
    UTG minraisesish, maybe a little more.

    You...?

    I pushed. Is this a good idea? Do I only get called by hands that beat me?

    Well it certainly looks like aces. Is *anyone* going to be so tricky as to play a worse hand like this from UTG? What other hands are strong enough that you want a decent pot and a caller showing strength when you don't have position? Maybe KK? It's hard to see someone doing this with QQ or less - the only alternative that makes sense is an aware player who thinks you're weak tight and is going to hammer any flop. But surely it's too risky a play?

    So I think it has to be AA well over 50% of the time. It's a killer to fold, but could any hand BE more telegraphed?

    I've seen donkish/tricky ppl do this with more than just AA - 65o, KQo, etc. I reraise him and call a push. I'd only fold with a read like he's very rarely reraised over a lot of hands or something.

    if he minraises to 10bbs i reraise to 25bbs and possibly fold to a push, although saying that i probably call anyway becuase im a dumbass station.

    Also I didn't mean to say I think there is a ton of value in reraising and calling a push, but I have seen such whacky plays in shorthand at pokerroom that I think it is definitely +ev, but probably high variance because you might run into AA.

    I've seen limp reraises at NL with more than just AA, just like in LHE. AK, QQ, JJ etc etc especially if you have been running over the table. Consider that you'll run into AA only 4% of the time with KK, he's more likely to not have AA than to have it.

    Folding is bad.

    I might let him spew post-flop. Depends on how I think he'll re-act if I play back now and how much money is behind.
