    I'm not really sure if I like the way I played this. After he calls the flop reraise, I want to get to showdown as cheap as possible right? Does anyone reraise preflop?

    definitely wouldnt limp preflop, flop is good. turn id raise again since he did the same bet again, looks like a blocking bet for a draw.

    Yeah, on the turn, I would have reraised again. He's on a str8 draw or AK. I ve ran into those small bets into me before after I reraised and I usually will put the pedal to the metal. If he had AA or KK you would have more than likely been put all in after the reraise. I dont buy the small 80 bets hes making.

    Those small best are defensive bets. The opponent wants to stay in the hand for a cheap showdown and he knows you're going to bet big if he checks.

    Definatly pop the turn.

    I mostly fold pre flop to the raise after limping there.

    After that I like it. Get a little value if he's leading with KQ/QJ types or something like TT, and you don't go broke if he's bleeding you with a set. Giving the 'free' river card doesn't worry me much. Plus if you get re raised on the turn you have to fold.

    Results:

    He showed KJo for K high and I accumulated some chips for the upcoming pushfest. What a donk! I noticed a couple of other hands during the SNG that he followed the exact same line with the exact same result. But, early with no reads, I didn't have that shining nugget of info.

    Would anyone raise AQo here? I don't like limping and calling a raise but I like that more than raising EP with such a vulnerable hand, at least early in a Turbo.

    For me it's a fold pre-flop unless I have some reads that he is really loose and raising a lot pre-flop. I would reraise if he has been raising a lot.
