Re: Play a Hand With the Masters #2 Pre-Flop
When I saw this subject line I was very happy. Thanks Lloyd!

So without further adieu:

I raise to t300. The only way I might limp is if players to my left have been extremely aggressive against limpers, and I was pretty sure I would get raised by hands that I beat. I've no interest in playing this in a limp-fest, but if I've got pwners left to act, BINGO.
Reaction to a re-raise:
It depends on the position of the raiser and my read. Most reasonable re-raises (I make it t300, he makes it t800) will get me very close to pot committed. I do not want to cold-call for 1/3 of my stack, and then deal with the choice between check-folding a missed flop or betting into a monster with Ace-high. If I get a raise from an unknown or a LAG and he has position, I'll shove and have him make a decision.
If it comes from a tight, tough player, it may be worth a lay-down, ala HOHII. That said, if I think I can check-raise him off his hand on a ragged flop, I'll consider calling and going that route.
If the raise is out of the blinds, I'll consider a call to see a flop in position, and play poker from there.
Adieu, mon frere.
