Reraising QQ amounts..

Hi Jay,

I don't know if I'd reraise here. With the limpers, he's probably not bluffing, which means he probably has a good hand. I'd put him on AA, KK, JJ, TT, AK, or maybe AQs. I'm all but dead to two of those, dominating three others, and a coin-flip to the fifth. I think I might just take a flop here and see what develops after.

AA KK: 12

JJ TT: 12

AK: 16
AQ: 8

AK has to hit the flop, else it's going to get -EV call on the flop if it wants to play, so only 1/3 of the time against AK you'll be behind.

so it's:

20 + (16 * .2/3): 12 + (16 * 1/3)

23:13; 1.8:1


Even if it was 50:50 coin flip i'd reraise here:
1. Take control of the pot.
2. Most inportantly for information, AA KK should reraise then i can be done with my hand.

It has the disadvantage of giving JJ TT information, but QQ vs JJ/TT will have less postflop action as compared to QQ vs AA, due to probability of overpairs.

If i don't reraise and we (likely) both flop overpairs i'm in serious trouble then. If the player has me beat i want to know now.
