Justifiable Reraise?
Been at the table for a couple rotations. Most of the table is weak-tight. UTG+1 plays a high percentage of hands fairly aggressively. Preflop I'd seen him raise everything from low suited cards, to mid and high pocket pairs. UTG+2 calls a lot, but rarely raises. Is the reraise justifiable or a good way to spew chips?

Re: Justifiable Reraise?
I like the reraise. Normally I lay that hand down against a raise, but against a very LAG player and a calling station I don't mind it. You're more likely to get the pot 3 handed at that point. You definitely want to get the hand as short-handed as possible. You also have great position so it makes the reraise even more attractive.

Re: Justifiable Reraise?
Given your read I play this hand like he hadn't raised, and I usually raise AJo in CO, so, yes, I like the re-raise.

Re: Justifiable Reraise?
I just dont feel the need to cold call with this hand. However after looking at it a little closer AJ will play well against just 2 opponents. I like the move.

Pretty standard given the villain's range of raising hands, and the CC from UTG+2.

Re: Justifiable Reraise?
with your reads, your reraise is good as you want a hand like this to be 3 handed. looks good.

Re: Justifiable Reraise?
this is an easy isolation raise w/o UTG+2 in the hand. even with him there it's fine.

Re: Justifiable Reraise?
Given your reads and your position, this is a good hand for an attempt to isolate. I think the three bet is ok. UTG+2 will probably call down with a weaker hand often or he will fold to aggression. UTG+1 probably has a wide range of raising hands and may call down with weak hands as well. The lack of aggression on the flop does not always mean he has a weak hand, he may be waiting for a c/r on the turn or he may be on a flush draw. At this point, what was your plan on the turn--if checked to you would you bet or check, if c/r do you fold, what if a heart fell to possibly make a flush for him but give a draw to the nuts for you? What if he bets a heart on the turn? I don't do this kind of analysis enough on the fly, but I think knowing the answers to these questions BEFORE you check, bet, raise, cap the flop tells you whether this is a good decision or not.
