Quick preflop quiz

[ QUOTE ]
you are reraising a middle position tag player with 99 out of position? What is your play if he reraises. What if he flatcalls and starts calling bets on a big flop? Little flop?

How much do you expect to make OOP when you flop a set?

I think a reraise is alright if and only if I have enough information on the TAG that he won't play missed big cards; if TAG calls, SB calls.

Let's say you reraise to 12BB or 16BB. Both players call.

What happens when the flop comes ragged with one ace/king/queen? Do you c/b into TAG and dump it on the turn if he calls (or dump it on the flop if he raises)?

Will TAG raise your flop bet with AQo on a board of K74r?

Meh. My default is call. I'd need a better read/feel for villians than just PT numbers to reraise in this spot.

Nah, this is a call. Unless you are a fan of playing a huge pot out of position with a hand that hates a whole lot of flops, or want to kill your implied odds if he actually does have a strong pair and 3 bets you hard preflop.

I understand wanting to isolate , and the loose SB here, but this is a clear call.

Call and play for a set.

Check/fold to a continuation bet if I don't hit a set.

If I hit a set and there are no draws on board, then I either bet 3/4 pot into the preflop raiser or check/call the continuation bet and then bet the turn.

If I hit a set and there are obvious draws on the board, then I pot the flop into the preflop raiser and hope he won't let go of an overpair or TPTK or flush with overcards, or whatever.

I don't like this. You will be applying pressure for ~20% of your stack (considering 100 bb stacks) on a single bet on any non 9 flop if you choose to do this, OOP nonetheless, and if you are called or raised on just about any flop that doesn't contain a 9 after being called preflop, you will have to give up. I make more than plenty on sets OOP when people overplay their hit broadways and overpairs to validate calling here.
