Default What hands are you willing to re-raise with preflop?

Couple scenarios, 6max, assume everyone has the same stack.

UTG raises to 4x BB, folded to you on the button, what do you reraise with?

UTG raises to 4x BB, 2 callers, folded to you on the button, what do you reraise with?

Button raises, you are in the SB, what do you raise with?

These are juts a few example scenarios, feel free to make up your own...

You're asking all the wrong questions.

senario 1. Anytime of the past 15 times SB raised and I reraised him from BB he folded. In this senario I would reraise with any two.

senario 2. UtG only raises with AA. It is folded around to me in BB. I never reraise.

and every situation inbetween.

Assuming UTG is an unknown.

I'm sorry guys I am just trying real hard to adapt my game from SNGs, where it is very sharp, to NL cash, where it is very dull.

I apologize for coming across as a donk :-).

Against one player it is entirely siutational. If he's bad then I'm raising with a wider range to stop the blinds from being interested. If he's tight/good then I'm only reraising with AA/KK/QQ and maybe AK/JJ.

Against a range of players then I'm only reraising with AA/KK/QQ/JJ/AK and maybe AQ/TT unless I have a specific feeling that the table folds to reraises too often.

You'll do fine never ever raising PF against unknowns. Seriously.

Yeah I meant reraising. And there's not much to explain. In general, you don't really need to reraise PF, because you're usually going to make back that equity by having a well concealed hand.
