Default Re: Another JJ early hand

Preflop minraise blows. I reraise a bit because I am suspicious and there's no way to tell how good his hand is or not nor can you tell what anyone else has. Better to define the hand and get out cheap rather than deal with the mess after you get a flop like you did.

I often feel strange reraising a minraise with a hand that is not reraising material. However I've found that just bringing the bet up to the level I was going to raise it anyway had people limped (in the case of the OP, around 100-120) I will not be losing anything more than had I been the first raiser and it will scare off some players. If you get reraised you can always fold preflop and you have invested exactly what you would have anyway.
