And if Antonius made anything close to a standard sized reraise, calling with 75off to see a flop was a poor play.

There is no way you can say that, it's totally false. When you're a LAG you cannot just roll over every time somebody plays back at you. At least, not in anything more advanced than $33 Party SnG's.

I can't believe everybody's knocking AcesHigh as some sort of idiot for pointing out that calling a reraise with 57o is a bad play. It just swells the pot and it's almost a certainty that the only way you're winning the pot is by bluffing, which will now be VERY expensive and also very risky because your reraising opponent would have to not get a piece of the flop. In other words, that's a lot of chips to risk later on in the hand on the off chance your opponent has nothing AND misses the flop when you could just fold your 57. LAGs can't profitably be run over. And they also can't profitably call every time they're reraised. I would say 57o is on the "fold" end of that spectrum.
