I hate this spot...

100 rebuy on stars. 45 left, 18 pay. Blinds up in less than 5 mins. I have no significant reads on the reraiser. The original raiser had min raised twice before, once CBed on the flop to take it down, other time folded to a pf raise.

Assuming that the reraiser is a competant player, I feel like he calls with better hands, and folds almost all worse ones. On the other hand I can't just fold here, and any reraise pretty much commits me.

I think calling is ok. However, I think if you reraised to about 7k your hand would look incredibly strong, and if they were to come over that then you could safely fold. On the other hand, a good CO will be calling w/ Aces here like every time if you reraise, so that would suck. I think reraising and folding to a push is fine was well as calling. If they call your reraise, good luck [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Call or fold, have a plan for the flop if you call. This raise and folding to a reraise plan is pretty terrible IMO because often players might jam AK or even worse pairs depending on ur table image.

I like this, but what would your plan be in this spot for the flop? Run away on any A or K flop, and go broke on 3 rags? Possibly fold a TJx flop?

Yeah most likely if you decide to call, you gotta go broke on a flop Q high or lower I'd think. I probably make this fold more than I make this call.

Is the reraise really THAT scary?
