    off-topic: hand history tool doesn't work for this for some reason. anyone know why?
    i play on an apple. is the hand history produced by party different on apples?
    partypoker emailed me this version


    what do you think about this hand? i reraised because i thought the guy was making a move. i had reads on him and how he played the hand didn't seem right. if he reraised then i'm out the hand. if he flat calls i don't know how the hand would have ended. i probably would have checkfolded to the end.

    do you think that if i'm going to reraise it should be a proper reraise? like to $40+? but then i'm putting more money at stake and it might not actually gain anything for me.

    at this table 2 players made moves on me in the 1-2hrs i was playing at it. one player did so before this hand had happened. another player did it afterwards. they both showed their cards once i had mucked my hand. this guy didn't get away with it though.

    did i play this hand really poorly? should i just have folded to the raise? or was it a good play since i had a read on my opponent?

    thanks for all replies in advance

    You need to reraise a minimum of 3x-4x the original bet in most situations. You wouldnt min reraise w/ the nuts so why would you do it with air?

    Raise more if you're going to 3bet him. You need to be pretty sure of your read to do this very often though as your thinking that he's "making a move" quickly turns into spew, and leads to losing a lot of $. Also, don't show any action after your last action (as in don't show what happened after your 3bet).
    Wikipedia is the best thing ever. Anyone in the world can write anything they want about any subject. So you know you are getting the best possible information.

    Just check out of the BB preflop, c/f flop. This is spew.

    ye... i shoulda just folded.
    i don't know why i made the preflop raise. probably just trying to steal the blinds.
