Default pre-flop question .10/.25

you are one off the button with 35$ in your stack. UTG1($32.50) raises to 1.00, UTG2($33.00) raises to 3.00, fold to you with 10,10...is this a call or a fold?

Raise and reraise usually leads me to believe you are beat. Most only reraise a big raise with AA/KK and sometimes QQ/JJ/AK. I would fold in this spot. But, you are at .10/.25 so play is a bit looser for reraises. I still fold though.

Well if you call and flop your set, then you'll probably stack him. So, I don't mind calling here.

In this spot, I would probably call if you think that UTG will call and not reraise. With this type of raiseing preflop, you have great implied odds if you flop your set. However, when the flop comes 2 5 9, dont be tempted to 'see one more card'. I would probably call here with any pocket pair if you feel that UTG will not reraise due to your implied odds.

Yes, you have odds to call. However, your not last to act and original raiser might very well come over the top, and then you have to fold after investing +10BB. I fold this pretty quickly.

This is a good play too, but I am way too weak-tight. Any who, if you spike that TEN you will likely double up here.

That is assuming he has the AA/KK.

If this guy is reraising with AK then, you definately call QQ. It is much more likely that the reraiser has AA/KK.
