Re: 600 nl KK UTG
Am I the only who likes a reraise preflop here?
This is a bit above the limit I play, so perhaps you mid limit guys like to get trickier with your pocket pairs, but personally I prefer to get as much money in preflop as possible, UNLESS a player is so well known to you that his position and the size of his raise allows you to put him on a specific hand.
In this scenario, you've only got 30 in preflop, with 570 more to potentially lose. Maybe I'm a little too risk averse, but I hate to put in that much more money without a good idea of what villian has. A reraise and how villian reacts to it should help you to define his hand, and make flop decisions a bit easier.
Of course he could just smoothcall your reraise if he has Aces, but he's more likely to pop you back. Poker is a game of imperfect information, but I think the reraise here makes your life easier.
