Bahamas hand

[MLG]

One of the biggest mistakes you can make in poker is assuming that somebody else plays the same way you do. Just because you would only limp reraise with AA-KK doesnt mean that your opponents do.

[Mike Gallo]

If you reraise to T3000, what do you do if he goes all in?

How many chips did he have?

[Mike Gallo]

I might call the raise and see what develops.

I do not like to gamble that early in a tournament. I had a similiar situation last night that I posted.

[MLG]

IMO calling is bad. You only hit 30% of the time on the flop, and those times that you do hit your implied odds are 0, so you really don't have the odds to draw (this is the rare case where you can be pretty sure your up against a pocket pair).

[Mike Gallo]

IMO calling is bad.

I can see your point.

[Ross]

Sorry that is not the point I was making. The question really boils down to is there any hand that he will make the move with & pay you off if you hit an Ace or King?

Answer unless he is very loose or borderline maniac you are unlikely to up against AQ or AJ therefore you cannot be ahead if an A or K falls on the flop you are either absolutely dead to pocket Aces or Kings or you loose your customer.

On balance more downside than upside next hand.

i think mlg has pretty definitively answered this thread. i'd fold preflop, maybe he has AA or KK, if he has QQ or JJ (which i doubt), flop is xxx he bets you fold, flop is Axx he checks you bet he folds.
