Like I said in the opening I had been playing back at him alot and I was hoping he was going to get feed up

Isn't this a good enough reason to raise that flop?

For those of you who advocate reraising preflop, what is your range to reraise with here against an unknown? I personally like seeing a flop here. I'd be much more inclined to reraise AKo or virtually nothing here for obvious reasons.

I think a raise PF would be a good idea, as he might try to make a move given the history. On the flop I would raise here for sure. Given the way you played it, I would just call the turn and bet/raise the river, but I think that is the weakest line you could take in this hand. Raise this either PF or Flop.

I agree with your general logic, but...

Against someone who's superaggro preflop, reraise or fold is a pretty good line. (Trap with KK-AA if you want.)

I don't like trapping with no pair, so I'm going to reraise with AK.

In this case, opponent seems to be playing in a highly exploitable fashion (raise any 2, fold any turn if hero raises.) So against this guy calling with any 2 seems like a winning strategy, and taking it away on the turn.

Raising this turn is really really bad. I hope you see why. Especially when you qualify your reasons for raising the turn with the following statement...

I was assuming the SB had sh*t.

Perhaps you are correct. Maybe just a call on the turn would have been better the way I played this hand.

Hey G35,

Reraise pre-flop, because at some point he's gonna take a stand, and it might be with AQ/ something worse. Your context has turned AK into a monster (not that it's generally too shabby). I would have no qualms about calling off my stack with it pre-flop here, though I usually don't like that play.

But my opponents obviously don't know this, so how is it exploitable? Reraised pots hardly get shown down in 100 bb stack games in my experience. I can understand that it'd be exploitable if I only reraised AA and KK and nothing else, but preferring to reraise offsuit big aces as compared to suited big aces will be a pattern virtually no one will pick up on unless they scour data. Also, for the same reason I don't mind talking strategy with my friends, I can just do something different if I play someone who I have reason to believe knows this. These conversations aren't binding, are they? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
