Default Why it\'s important to reraise with good hands

Absolute, 6 max:

Hero is BB with 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
UTG raises, MP calls, CO folds, Button calls, SB folds, hero calls getting 7.5/1.

Flop: 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] j[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Hero checks, UTG bets, MP calls, CO folds, hero calls getting 12:1 with bottom pair and bdfd.

Turn: 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Hero checks, UTG bets, MP calls, hero raises, UTG calls, MP calls.

River: 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Hero bets, UTG calls, MP calls.

Hero has full house; UTG has unimproved AKo, MP has QQ.
Hero wins 14BB pot.

MP could have knocked me out preflop or on flop with a raise. Thanks for being the ultimate calling station buddy!

Oh, speaking of calling stations, did I ever mention how much I love them:

Absolute 6 max:

Hero is MP with AA.

UTG bets, hero raises, CO folds, Button reraises, SB calls (all in), BB folds, UTG caps, hero calls, button calls.

Flop: 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

UTG checks, hero bets, button calls, UTG calls.

Turn: Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

UTG checks, hero bets, button calls, UTG calls.

River: 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

UTG checks, hero bets, button calls, UTG calls.

Result: hero wins 15.5BB pot with AA. Button mucks JJ; SB mucks AK; UTG mucks Q2 (wtf?).
