Default been caught stealing

This sort of thing bothers me. 100NL 6-max. Folded to me on the button and I have A2o. I raise to $4 and the BB reraises me only $4 more.

Assuming no reads on the villain (new table), I usually let this go despite getting 3:1 odds. Do others agree?

depends on how often you've been raising his blind and what type of player he is.

fold w/ A2o, even if you have been raising his blinds a lot.

i'd probably call w/ suited connectors or suited one gappers, but i play LAG and hate folding to min-raises pre flop.

With A2o I would definitely fold to this reraise most of the time no matter what opponent. You basically have no idea of what you want to see on the flop except A22, AA2, or 345 but then you'll only get action from a hand that beats yours. Other hands like small/medium pairs or suited connects I will almost always call.

A2o is pushing it.. but if you think he's making a play then call, but don't get married to Axx, I'm not even sure how long you should play AAx. What you're looking for is 22x or A2x I guess, and that won't happen very often.

I'm calling this for these reasons:

-you are in position

-you are getting over 3-1

-you are in position

-you will not play a big pot without a hand

-fold is very weak for metagame
