Now What?

A weak player limps in middle position. The button, a moderately skilled player, raises. You are in the SB with KQs. What's your play?

Either Call or Reraise

I like a reraise, for the simple fact that the "moderately skilled player" has probably noticed, just as you have, that the limper is "weak."


He's probably trying to get him heads up, and could easily be doing it with any sort of hand.


If you can lose the limper, you are likely up against an inferior hand, and the tables are turned on the raiser.


Also, being a 3-bettor out of the blind certainly allows you to represent any sort of power you see fit. You could easily blast him right off of any sort of better hand (medium pocket pair, A/J or worse, etc.) with a simple bet on the flop.


Plus, your hand ain't too shabby anyway. You could make a hand.
