Preflop reraising

[Supern]

0.25/0.5 NL, 8 player tables. Hero and Villain both have 100bb stacks.
Hero has TA image. Villain is 20/10/2 and seems to be solid.

Hero have AKo on the button.
Villain in the CO, who raises 10% of his hand total, raises first in to 4*bb.

* How much should we re-raise? 12bb total?

* What do we think is his range of hands if he calls our re-
raise?

* How likely is a CB to work if he calls? Seems unlikely to me.

* If villain opens from seat 5 instead do we still re-raise?

* If villain opens from seat 5 and has a PFR of 7% instead, do we still re-raise?

Suprn,

12bb is good.

should work more than 2/3 of the time unless he has a big hand... it does not matter where villain opens from, raise to eliminate smooth callers & for value.

pfr 7% I still find a re-raise, if he comes over the top I muck, happily.

How big should a typical preflop re-raise be?
Let's say villain raises to 4$ how much more do you raise him?

2 times his bet? 8$ more, 12$ total?
2,5 times his bet? 10$ more, 14$ total?
3 times his bet? 12$ more, 16$ total?

What should I think about when deciding how large my re-raise should be?

Generally, you make a pot-sized reraise.

blinds: 1.5bb
his raise: 4bb

If you call the raise, pot size if 4+4+1.5 = 10.5bb. So a pot-sized raise is 10.5 more, so make it 14.5bb to go. So anything in the range 12-18 is a normal raise. less than that and it is pretty much a minraise, more is an overbet. Both have their places.

Id normally make it $10-12 more for villain to see the flop. Assuming $100 stacks, you have cut down on villains' implied odds if he then decides to play something like 88/99/TT for set value.

Too many times I've been stacked holding premium pairs when my preflop re-raise has not been big enough [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img].

If a solid player calls a potsized reraise, what range of hands do you put him on?

What about a stranger?

9.5?
Do we fold if villain comes over the top again?

Against sane villains, yes. Most players won't put in a 3rd bet preflop with QQ or AK.
