Hey Guys,
I know you must hear this all the time; however, I've got a question regarding my preflop play in a certain situation that occured today. While I'm sure that its tirelessly discussed, I was hoping I could get some input.
My friend and I are having a dispute about how to play Aces before the flop in the PS's .10/.25c NL game, facing a re-raise. Assume everyone has equal stacks($25), and you have no reads. You are UTG+1 with red A's and raise to 4xthe BB. Its folded to LMP who re-raises to 2.50. What should my action be? My theory is that I'm losing value by reraising to say... 5.00 or 6.00 here. My friend suggests that a re-raise is in order because it isn't likely that he's raising lighter than KK or QQ and that he'd rather win the pot right there than to make the call. I think this last part is particula ridiculous. While this may be true (however I'm not certain) I'm still not 100% that he's coming to the flop with me. Anyway, like I said... I know you've all heard this a thousand times so I apologize. Anyhow, I'll look forward to your replys.
