preflop reraises

[jackvance]

The games I play in (40NL-50NL on prima), preflop reraises (3bets) are pretty rare, so I usually insta-fold when I get repopped. The rest of the players however call them pretty often. Now, if I know I'm getting repopped with the AA/KK (or AA/KK/QQ/AK) range, and I want to start calling them more, are there any general guidelines you guys follow? Like, any % of eff stack size? Also, we rather call with 67s than KJo right?

i usually call if the call is 10:1 on implied odds, but you gotta know when they have AK to get good at this

If you're OOP, don't call with marginal PP's unless you have 10:1 and are 100% certain he has AA or KK.

In position, i definitely am looking for 10:1 implied odds for PP's (and you're going to be pushing sometimes when you hit straight draws). It's better to call with a 67s than a KJo, but i personally won't unless i know the guy's a light three-bettor.

If it's about a break-even call, I make it to avoid making it too easy to be pegged as a folder. Also, it forces your oppoents to follow-through with their aggression, setting up traps for later.

Not all repops are created equal:

Id extend this to say you need to call reraises with KK/AA in order for this to work and c/r all in etc.

I've been testing out the theory that I only want to 4bet preflop if I HAVE to(ie when someone squeezes). This includes calling most 3bets when I feel it to be profitable. I also think this is better for my game because I get 3 bet a ton, and sets up post flop better for me.
