Default Re: LC: Against a raise and a reraise . . .

I mean maybe in an MTT you could make an argument for doing this, I know a certain Mr. Negreanu likes to, but in an SNG your chips are so shallow anyway 99% of the time that pissing them away like this is just a bad idea. You won't hit enough flops to get paid off enough, and in the long term it'll be a huge drain. Remember that every chip you lose is worth more than every chip you gain. With 10,000 chips at 10/15 blinds this is much less of an issue to lose let's say 80 to a raise and re-raise, than with 800 or 1000 in the same situation. It's already a tenth of your stack with 800! Also when you've doubled up or something early then you want to keep the 100 for pushing people around when the blinds are meaningful, so it's not a good idea to do it then either.

Agreed. I've never had the balls to do it and it makes sense not to try the more I think about it.
