Default Re: Huh? Limp Reraise, from the third limper

[ QUOTE ]
Villain's numbers are 12/4 PAF 8.00 and WTSD 5% over 112 hands

This is my first hand at the table, I have $100 he has me covered.

Party Poker (8 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is SB with J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
UTG Calls $1, UTG+1 Calls $1, MP1 Calls $1, 3 Folds, Hero raises to $6, 2 folds, MP1 reraises to $20, Hero...

Ok what does that mean? He limped third, what kind of range should I put him on? Is he getting real tricky with AA, KK, or is this some weird resteal with position and 33-99 or Axs. So anyway he confused me, so I let my time bar run and called him, which I think is a big mistake considering im out of position. Do you fold here, or reraise him back?

Flop: 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero ...

Lead this flop? I think I messed this one up

I think this is interesting. Personally, I would not be raising with JJ out of the SB with 3 limpers to me because I hate playing big pots OOP with moderately strong hands. If I chose to raise in that spot, I'd definitely be making it $10+ because I don't want any callers.

As played, I am spooked by his reraise because it forces me to play a big pot with my JJ OOP.

Why would villain pull this overlimp-reraise play on us? He obviously does not put us on AA or KK, which are 2 of the hands that would raise out of the SB after several limpers. To me, this means that he must put us on a hand like AK or QQ. UNLESS: hero has been aggressive preflop and has shown down some weaker holdings in some other games with villain.

If he believes that we have AK or QQ and reraises us, what does he have to hold? 88-AA. Considering that there are 3 of these hands that beat us and 3 of these hands that we beat, villain has gotten aggressive, and we are OOP for the hand, I'm folding to his reraise preflop.

Tough spot.
