Ok.. Well it looks like everyone's pretty much agreed.. Reraise preflop..

And -- This was my original intent. To limp to have someone bet for me so I could reraise.. However... when it got down to SB and they raised that much ... I thought .. Either there completely f o s... or If they have a hand.. what could they have .. KK, QQ, JJ, AK, AQ, and lower pocket pair .. etc.. which they'd defend on the flop, and I just figured I could more easily get them all in this way and maximize my +EV .. does that make sense...If you keep in mind the RAPID blind structure which starts at 25/50, and is 32/64k a little over 2.5 hours into the tourney.. I stopped for a minute and kinda saw this when he bet the 1k thinking maybe the UTG + 1 would call, and pretty positive the late limper would fold. .. I figured i could take his 1k + 200 for limpers now and maaybe the UTG + 1, but he still had 900 left and only 100 in the pot... Raise, Reraise.. as poor of a player as he was, don't know if he would of called that..

So either 1.2k or.. If I just called, if he did limp in that's almost 3.1k pot for the three of us.. or 2.2k for me and SB .. I figure w/any high pocket pair or almost anything he'll bet out heavily on the flop, and I can put him to the test and raise all in here .. taking another 4.1k .. Fully understanding i'm taking that extra risk though...

Does that make a little more sense per situation, or would you guys still defend it preflop as everyones suggested so far?
