Default Re: What hands are you willing to re-raise with preflop?

You'll do fine never ever raising PF against unknowns. Seriously.

Do you mean reraising?

Anyway care to explain?

Yeah I meant reraising. And there's not much to explain. In general, you don't really need to reraise PF, because you're usually going to make back that equity by having a well concealed hand.

First of all, i guess you will be reraising when there are several players in the pot right? Playing AA out of position vs 3 players does not seem fun. So i guess you are talking about just calling vs one opponent here..


So following senario: Raise from CO, you call out of the BB with AA. Flop:
K74.

Since your hand is concealed aren't you more likely to loose all of your stack(or a lot of your money) when your opponent hits his set? Or do you mean that you get more back the times when your opponent overplays his weaker hands like AK?

Or another example:
You hold KK in BB, raised from CO, you call. Flop:

Axx.

How good do you feel your hand is here vs an unkonwn opponent?

I would think that it was more important to raise vs unkowns since you don't know what their action on later streets means. Is this wrong?
