Default Re: Limping with AA/KK in EP: Always, sometimes, never?

if you miss the reraise its fine. Just don't get committed with just an overpair hand. while the reverse implied odds are just as high or higher with relation to how much they paid to see the flop (1BB), the absolute amount is not that much because I won't commit my stack with just an overpair.

If you think that the table is tight enough that they call you with just pocketpairs preflop or that you'll always get it 3 way with a 5xBB preflop raise then raising UTG is obviously correct.

However, in the example I showed, you have to worry about KQ, you have to worry about 89, you maybe have to worry about Q9, you have to worry about flush draw. Thats a lot of scarecards that can come on the turn or river that I don't like. Lots of scarecards that unfortunately I have to bet as default because I don't want to be bluffed out of big pot. I don't have position so I can't see what they do on the scare card.





Thats a lot of scare cards on that turn that
