No brainer with QQ for 30 bets?

AZK · #1 06-30-2005, 11:00 PM

Assume villain is not a overly rockish or laggy. Is it smarter to smooth call and move in on an unders flop. Or should I just not care since he only has 30 bets?

You shouldn't care. Just get it all in preflop.

you need to reraise preflop to make sure you knock out the guys behind you.

That's why I did, the way the table was playing, if I called half the table would have...

Seems like a pretty simple and necessary isolation move.

What about reraising to $90? All the money will go in anyway, but you are less vulnerable to a limp reraise.

$90 might've been better but I like it either way.

Very true. $90 is all you need to risk to get the job done. Never know when AA or KK will limp-counterattack.

If you make it 90 and some1 calls behind and SB pushes ... then what do you do ?

If you call again - then limp caller can push and you are in a painful spot.

I have never seen someone overcall a huge raise and then push. That play requires a lot of sophistication.
