Sorry I forgot to put in my comment. Should I have called. it looked like a move to me.

No. I wouldn't. I don't like your preflop raise at all by the way.

PS The way he played this hand smells like a set to me or some freaky two pair (JT or T9). He has you beat, anyway. Or, just maybe 87. I could see that.

This raise is pretty standard for me. What is wrong with it?
This is Pokerstars so stacks are deeper. i also have position.

Has nothing to do with deep stacks or having position. It's far more +EV to just call here with such low blinds, but ok keep raising to one limper. I promise you it's a leak though

Yah I would agree with limping.

If you are gonna raise just raise it to 60-80 though, all you are tryiing to do is isolate the limper or just make him outright fold and if he is folding to 120 he is probably folding to 80.

I think a raise here w/ no limpers isn't a leak, but with the limper I agree that a call here is better.

jsut cause the stacks are deeper doesnt mean you should be making reraises with hands like A10s.

I made a resolution with myself a long time ago not to go broke with top pair calling a push when the blinds are very low, and it doesn't matter what street.

Lots of poker to be played.

Let the hand go.

I agree that it might be a leak but why?
My thinking is this, one limper on button I am facing 2 random hands in the blinds who will fold 70% of the time. The limper will have a wide range of hands. THe best of which he will reraise and I will fold. The worst of which he will fold most of the time. But many hands he will call, including ,weak Aces, and other hands I am ahead of.
More importantly the majority of the time he will check the flop I will bet and he will fold. These types of hands is how i build a stack.
I honestly would like to understand this better. This a situation I have pondered but currently have it in the "if its not broke dont fix it " category.
