Any reads at all on UTG? I think that makes or breaks this move. Actually, I don't really like it regardless. Why not just reraise the first time around?

cause now there's $170 in the pot to steal now, not $70. And no particular read on UTG except he's 48/5 and this mini-limp-reraise is completely donkish and weak to me.

Re: 5/10 Prelfop push w/AK
 

If i understand it correctly then you are representing a second high low against an UTG raiser that without any other read seems to be holding a monster. Brave move.

Edit: that was before i read your post that he was a donk..

He limps re-raises 4 people, can you say ACES? Although $60 is donkish but consistent with Aces.

Donkish, yes. Weak, not necessarily.

I hate it. You don't get calls from hands you beat, and he's often got you crushed.

The pot is pretty small and he will not call you with AQ unless he's a complete donk. Can't see this be EV+ in any way at all.

I think it's more likely a mid to low pair or sc. If he wanted to limp rr, he wouldn't rr the MINIMUM. It looks like a pot building hand to me.

Regardless of what he has, stealing $170 by risking 10x isn't good poker unless we've seen him call something with AQo or worse.

Re-raise now if you wish or muck, both are better than pushing.
