Limited Time Only
First round of a live $100 rebuy tourney at LC's in SF. I haven't rebought yet and have my starting stack of 1k. The only thing I know about the button is this:
He was playing in the big 20-40 NL game right up until gametime. He still had about 3k of chips racked up on the rail that he was fiddling with trying to cash them out. He seemed fidgity. He had played about half the hands, usually raising. He limped reraised once from UTG and showed AA on a Q high flop when he bet and the other guy folded. He continuation bet every time he raised preflop and won every hand except one where he lost back all his profit and had around 1150 or so. My prelim read on him was either good/aggressive or bad/aggressive, but I was fairly certain that he didn't like calling AND that he may or may not have wanted to get back in that cash game. We are about half way through round 1. My guy is three to my right and on the button. I limp UTG w/ 33. Three more limpers and I just know 100% that this guy is going to PWN us. Sure enough, he makes it 300 total (blinds 25/25). Folded to me and I have a rule that if I know someone is going to raise before they have acted once preflop and I have any FE and any amount of dead money in the pot I make a big reraise. Since I had the perfect stack size to do it, i did. The only reason I post is because I'm quite certain that that's the first LRR w/ 33 I've ever tried. |

Re: Limited Time Only
Why'd you limp? Were you planning this? The push seems fine; I especially like that he made the same play with AA, so he may even make a big fold here..

Re: Limited Time Only
I presume you limped UTG specifically for this reason and otherwise you would have just folded. Did it make a difference that you had 33? Seems like any cards would have been just about as good as 33 right there. The only issue I have is that you say he looks like he might want back in the cash game and if that's the case, he's more likely to call even if on a steal.

Re: Limited Time Only
Possibly. If you expect him to raise pre-flop after you limp, then chances are you're not going to be able to see a flop cheap enough with 33 to play for set value. So essentially you're just trying to get into a pot with him in order to play some poker and see if you can win it post-flop even if you're behind. If that's the case, it probably doesn't make a difference what cards you have.

Re: Limited Time Only
That's not fair Lloyd. He'll see a cheap flop much of the time, but the 40% of the time that the guy does this, we have a play ready for him. Also, if this guy is itching to go back to the cash game, he very well may call with NE2, so it would be nice to have a little more than your dick in your hands when you get called.
