Your points are valid...I wasn't thinking of the position of the raiser and caller at the time.

I prefer to reraise AA on the button though, and when the callers check to me, I like to make continuation-type bets on the flop....if it's a low board, you'll get popped by small pocket pairs and if it's K xx, you get raised by KQ.

anyway, here's a big pocket pair at that same table I played completely differently...of course the flop is different...I think I could have played this better, too.

Seat 1: CallStation81 ($32)
Seat 2: BigPapi0 ($18.05)
Seat 3: mgermo ($50)
Seat 4: MicChipper ($15.80), is sitting out
Seat 5: baudib1 ($114.35)
Seat 6: utilities ($62.30)
baudib1 posts the small blind of $0.25
utilities is sitting out
CallStation81 posts the big blind of $0.50
The button is in seat #3
*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to baudib1 [Kh Kc]

*** SUMMARY ***
Total pot $13.50 | Rake $0.65
Board: [Ts Ks 5s]
Seat 1: CallStation81 (big blind) folded before the Flop
Seat 2: BigPapi0 folded on the Flop

Seat 4: MicChipper is sitting out
Seat 5: baudib1 (small blind) collected ($12.85)
Seat 6: utilities is sitting out

I figured this guy would put the rest in with whatever hand or draw he had, but maybe he something like 88 or nothing at all. Is flat-calling his reraise on the flop ever an option here?
