Default Re: Back To Basics. Annoyingly simple preflop question.

Against a player who plays 35/30 five-handed, I'm definitely reraising here.

My minimum to reraise here:
A9s, ATo, KQs, KQo, 77+

Even though he's "extremely aggressive after the flop" he's out of position, and his range is extremely wide from the HJ. If the other players at the table were loose instead of tight I might coldcall KQo or KJs here. Since he's so great after the flop I'm going to try to take every opportunity to take advantage of his extremely loose preflop raising standards. No matter how good he is, out of position against better hands with initiative he's going to be losing money.

I also totally agree with Lmn55d here. I'm reraising here liberally because I want the chance to open pots with hands I would have to fold to his open raise.
