Don't know if I like it without a read- and his donkbets say "I'm not going anywhere". I don't know if you have enough FE either.

Reraise more pre-flop. As for the push, I don't like it only because he seems like he could call you with T9. With a read against a decent player, though, I like it.

Is this a standard reraise for people preflop?

I'm generally folding this.

I could make an argument for reraising if original raiser is quite LAGGy preflop, but becomes weak/tight timid shown resistance but that seems quite rare.

you fold KQ for two bb's? reasons for raise, I thought I was good, I had position. and min raises are usually a sign of complete weakness or AA/KK

#6 10-18-2005, 03:24 AM

I assumed since you reraised he is a LAG.

I just hate putting lots of bets in with K high againt someone who'll play back at me with literally anything.

PoBoy321 · #7 10-18-2005, 03:25 AM

The point of the reraise is to keep the villain from playing back against you, take the aggressive stance in the hand and hopefully win UI.

....That said, the river scare-card is one of the most effective times to do it, it seems....but yeah folding equity is weak.

Sounds good, just seems the people I'd consider 3-betting KQo preflop at NL200 6 max aren't that easily intimidated. Will have to start looking at some situations I've been folding.
