Reraise to 250.
All-in on the river regardless of what hits.
If you pushed here, he can still get a way.
If he outdraws you on the river so be it.

I'de reraise to 400-500 and if somehow you only get called push the river. This will be enough to not give anyone who is chasing odds to call and at a $10 might get more action than an outright push.

You really need to define who your opponenets are, and put some sort of probabilities to their potential hands. On the $10+1s, this is both easy and hard.

Could villain have
A)flopped a str8
B)flopped a set
C)Two pair
D)think his KQ is now the best hand (or insert any other K)
E)Ace is the best hand here bro.

In this hand, the smooth caller is the most disconcerting. He called a raise and a reraise.

So what are you doing here? IMO, you're deciding how much, if any, more chips you're willing to commit to this hand. IMO, you make that decision and pull the trigger now, before the river. If it's zero, then fold, if it's 250, then bet 250 now.

who would be more worried about the smooth caller at higher limits than the $10+1s.
