Did I play this okay? It's the sixth hand in, so no real reads.

Why the flat call of the re-raise preflop? You want your opponents to see a flop that can bust you? I'm moving in here and now, I don't want nobody catching no Ace. If SB has AA, so be it, you got cold-decked.

[SparkyDog]

I was planning on getting my chips in the middle on any non-ace flop. Bad idea? Would moving in then force out AK and AQ?

SB did have AA though, and I'm out in 10 minutes.

all in preflop on the reraise

[eMarkM]

No, that's very weak. Let's say SB has AK, a plausible hand in this situation. You must get your money in now when you're the big favorite. You absolutely can't let the Ax hands see a flop for anything less than all their chips when he reopens the betting by re-raising. If he does have AK and no A flops, you're not going to get anything more out of him. If the A does come, then you're screwed out of a big pot that he should have either never seen or paid the max to get there.

[SparkyDog]

I understand. Thanks.

you got to push preflop, you dnt wnt him hitting his ax or hit his trisp, and if he does have pocket pair, then you are a hge advantage so use that and maximize profit.
