Eh, I don't like the limp-reraise when there's already a raise in front of you. Most times you won't get another raise to allow you to open the action again. I'd say you got lucky in this case that it happened. The push at the end is fine, as the pot is already huge. Still, just reraise UTG and I imagine on a ahnd like this you'll still get 50 callers.

ditto... it's not likely enough for someone to reraise that you want to flat call and likely have to play out of position.

It would have to be a very good game for me to want more players in the pot, which is probably true for the $25. They'll make -EV plays with most hands postflop so why give them the chance to fold.

I agree. I was debating about reraising right there, but planned on smooth-calling and then going big on any non-ace flop. Since the other guy kindly reraised, I pushed.
