    Default 10's on the button: Was I too aggressive?

    I won this in particular hand and the reraise I made was for two reasons:
    1 he had raised the last three hands.
    2. I had position and thought that he maybe had a hand like Kx or A10

    I would just call the initial raise, as you have position and he is a fellow bigstack who can do considerable damage to you.

    just call and see a flop

    with PP's you want to call if you put him on overs b/c then hell only get the chance to see three cards and not five, so im calling and pushing a flop with no overs.

    how much will position matter if the pot is already the size of ur stack on the flop?

    plus u ended up going all in anyways, so position didnt matter.

    The poker gods love me really, they are just testing my faith !

    Entirely read dependant. Against unknown, I call his bet.

    If it's a flop like KQx, it's much easier to get rid of, in any case.

    I, too, like the call PF. He's far less likely to hit overs in three cards than five, giving you more opportunity win (either at showdown or buying the pot) and it gives you an opportunity to exit on a scary flop.
    If I had a hammer
    I'd drop in the morning
    I'd drop in the evening..
