Play a Hand With the Masters #2 Pre-Flop

[AtticusFinch]

Standard raise, whatever that is for you. For me it's 275-300, depending on how much a pain it is to bet 275. (Same reasons as Adanthar. I bet 275 regularly on Party, but on Stars I usually don't bother 'cause of the scrollbar interface.)

I call a push by a shortie. I call most other reraises as well, although I might fold to a push or pot-committing raise from a big-stack in a 109. I don't 3-bet unless I decide to push. (I rely on the "no strong reads" statement for this. I push over a reraise by an overly aggro player.)

If there's a reraise and a call or 3-bet behind me (in either order), I fold.

I think limping is awful, and for me it's out of the question absent some pretty compelling extenuating circumstance, such as a table-terrorist behind me.
