Default Re: 5/10 NL SH--chip spewing? (deep stacks)

Stacks are big enough that you can call the preflop rr if you choose. But your plan is now to flop big or fold.

I don't see how these can both be correct. You aren't getting odds to outflop AA-QQ.

Nice deep stacks, we have 20:1 implied odds. I could be wrong, but I think we have at least a 5% chance of outflopping a big pair.

I would also count a flush draw or OESD as flopping big. Certainly we have a fair chance of flopping one of those.

Sometimes you flop something nice and lose. Are you factoring that in? With this hand I think you should want to see better than 20:1 and you aren't. I would also want to know he is a tight re-raiser and that he will pay me off postflop. Against someone who is not known to take a big pair way too far postflop I think you had better either be able to steal postflop to augment your EV occasionally or you had better fold preflop.

OP has said that he's running over the table, which to me means that they're going to take their big pairs too far, assuming he's stealing yet again. No info on how tight a reraiser villain is, true. Perhaps I'm reading too much into the statement that OP is running over everyone and raising constantly. To me, that means BIG PAYOFF when you hit against someone who finally decides to take a stand.

I'm a big fan of Ciaffone's rule of 5 and 10 when it comes to calling reraises: a raise of less than 5% of opponent's stack is a call, more than 10 is a fold. This is less than 5.

I also have no problems with a fold, of course. That's why I said "should you choose" in my response. The option of folding is good for your variance, and it's what I usually do, I must admit.
