This is probably one of the weakest aspects of my game. All I have to go on is the short handed discussion in HEPFAP.
If someone completes and I am in the BB, I usually feel lucky to see a flop with most hands. I guess the problem is if you don't reraise you don't take control of the hand; i.e. it is harder to win when nobody hits.
Also, if I reraise out of the BB shouldn't it be at least a 2xBB raise so as not to price your opponent in?
Finally, a somewhat related question, when playing heads up if the button completes, how often should the BB reraise. My thinking is if it is a passive player who just calls alot, I don't want to wake a sleeping giant.
One of my problems is when the blinds are small, I don't care that much if people steal. I think that sets a bad precedent and people continue to steal when the blinds increase.
Any help appreciated.
