Default Re: Reraising QQ amounts..

See my math above, they are the only hands i included to get the 2:1 figure.

your math is fine, but we're really only a big favorite to AQ, and pretty much even money on the rest AA-TT+AK.

I don't agree we are getting better information. By calling the bettor can put us on a large range of hands and thus will play his hand accordingly.

I probably should have said giving less information. His raise tells me a lot about his hand, whereas my call tells him nothing about mine, especially if I am (and you are) a tricky player. If I reraise, I'm not giving my opponent an oppurtunity to make much of a mistake.

but I think we're picking nits here. I think reraising and folding to an allin preflop is a fine play, and I would do it if I was out of position. but for me, I want to see the flop and I'm not going to let my opponent stack off before that. obviously you don't like it, but I doubt either one has a significant difference in EV.
