I was unsure if this fold is a good one. I put and1player on a,a or k,k and so i called for set value. When i missed i folded to a bet thinking that he would have me beat anyway. Is this too tight at this level?

What do most people make of a mini reraise preflop?

Push instead of call the reraise preflop. Post-flop I think you have to call.

So the mini reraise does not scare you?

I am always suspicous these post flop all in plays (my19vette99).

If my19vette99 had a very stong hand, why try chase players from the pot? My initial thought would be, ?J or draw. The problem for me is that the reraiser is still left to act, so I also get away from this hand even thou I think I have my19vette99 beaten. If I have a decent read on the reraiser, I might call.

I also play QQ this way when the blinds are small. I want action so I try not to taise it too much. I also call the reraise as I dont think this player will fold his hand if he has reraised to 150.

Depends on the player for the Min raise. Some players are just too lazy to use the slide bar. Id push preflop. Read dependent for me though. Depends how tight the player is and what theyll reraise with here. Ive been reraised with A,10 and AJ and worse.

I also used to push to a reraise, however I have changed my thinking. I no longer think its a good push at this blind level and/or buyin.

Yeah i have been reraised with a,j and the like before preflop. However a mini raise seem very strong to me and queens are one of those hands i am always unsure of how to play preflop early on. If i had a,a or k,k i would auto push here but i not sure with q,q.

Yesterday a donk mini-reraised my raise to his limp, I pushed, he called with AJo. I had KK. He spiked an ace on the river but that's beside the point - they will do it with crap.

I would have pushed preflop. I really don't buy AA/KK this early, even with the minreraise.
