    Default Party 5/10 NL, calling $90 preflop reraise with A8s

    Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (5 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    UTG ($1145.50)
    Hero ($1318)
    Button ($263.75)
    SB ($1968.59)
    BB ($1463)

    Preflop: Hero is MP with A, 8. SB posts a blind of $5.
    1 fold, Hero raises to $35, 2 folds, BB raises to $90, Hero calls $65.

    Flop: ($205) T, 4, 2 (2 players)
    BB bets $175, Hero raises to $380, BB folds.

    Final Pot: $760

    I have a pretty loose image, been raising close to 20% of my 100 hands on this table. BB is laggy and is one of the players who reraise light pretty frequently. I like my play in this hand, would like to get some comments though, will post my thoughts later.

    Never read any stickies or announcements
    Do you think TT is in villain's pf 3-betting range here?

    My first instinct was to fold preflop, and just call the flop. Let him fire again with air or red kings, but it's hard arguing against raising with the nuts. The chance that he improves to TPTK or top set would also be fantastic.

    it seems like the people who have learned that reraising is good still dont like reraising pairs because of the power of the almighty set

    I would re-raise tens most of the time against someone who raised 20% of his hands from late position. Is this bad? I don't understand the point of trying to hit a set against someone who probably has junk and won't pay me off if I hit it.

    What I was thinking was that if he had and overpair, this was the best way to possible take his stack. Cause if I just call and another club fall it will kill my action, if I call and there is a blank he will probably bet again but might fold to a push by me, depending on what kind of overpair he has, since it's not likely he will put me on a flush draw now.

    However, reraising him right here is what I would do with a club draw, and as I see it it's very likely he's thinking I'm on this draw and will 3-bet huge or push.

    I definately think TT is within his range, but his range is huge here, most likely he has nothing on this flop, and if he has nothing I'm pretty sure he won't fire again, unless he has a good club draw but then he would 3-bet this flop anyways.

    I'm calling here since I'm putting him on a big range, pretty much any two overcards and 88+. AND I have position on him, without that I'd never call with this hand. How to treat reraises perflop here really depends on who you're up against I think.
