Limp Re-raise?

    Default Limp Re-raise?

    What does it mean when someone at the table limps in middle position... I raise in late position... they re-raise.... Then they bet like 1/4th of the pot on the flop when it comes low cards? The blinds were only 15/30 ...

    To me it looks like they tried to steal my raise and then got scared at the flop... Or maybe trying to portray weakness with a huge PP? I folded to the small bet on the flop with my AQ suited.

    Limp re-raise is classic KK/AA. Sometimes, AK. Even if they think your raise was a steal, they will usually just call it. A NON-ALL IN reraise is even more scary - because people might re-steal with a lower PP.

    The 1/4 pot bet is either a sucker bet to get you to raise, or a weakly played AK. Note that you are still BEHIND an AK! If you have the chips, and you think villian is weak, you can raise the flop.

    Note, this is assuming medium limits ($10-20) . $5 SNG, could be anything but I probably still fold.

    Good players know the limp-reraise is a big flag that says I HAVE TWO ACES, so it can be faked.

    Oh, I would flat call the flop bet if I had a good draw.

    Are you min-raising? If so, it means nothing with blinds that low. And I don't now why you would mess around with min-raising those kind of blinds.

    I seriously doubt anyone is playing to steal a min-raise of a $30 blind.

    No my raise was 4x.

    Btw I had no draws on the flop. I probably would've called If I did.
