Agreed
That surprised me as well. I referred to him as solid since that was my opinion based on what I saw before this hand.

Re: Poker in New Orleans -- is there really PLO?

Re: 5/10NL Hand v. AJo
Many players will call 4% of the raiser's stack having the raiser covered and position on the raiser with a wide range of hands. I couldn't rule out an A, a J, or nothing based on the preflop call.

Re: KK in MP: anyone raise here?
I would play it the same way. When "UTG pretty solid" limp-reraises you I'm thinking his most likely hands are AA (6 ways), KK (1 way), AKs (2 ways). And the AKs I would think is a little less...

Re: Decision Time
My first reaction was - you're likely ahead - so raise. You're only behind AA (among most likely limp-reraising hands), and there's only 1 way he could have that. After reading Greg & Matt's posts,...

Absolutely, this sounds good to me as a way to mix it up and get some action from a hand you're ahead of. I would be hoping for the opponent to put in exactly one bet though, I still have a hard...

Re: maximizing AK
My opinion based on limited experience: AK can be difficult to play in big bet games since it builds top pair, top kicker. If you raise preflop, and flop an A or K, you are unlikely to get action...
