Default Re: How\'s your SSNLHE?: AKs

Q #2- I posted about pushing JJ preflop in a somewhat similar situation a couple weeks ago. And alot of folks were hesitant about doing something like that. Now in this quiz, we see a majority of SSNL'ers are hesitant to throw a reraise in there after MP calls for the second time. These situations don't come up alot, but when they do you should be able to capitalize on them.

Look at how the Hero's hand looks to villian if he were to raise it to $45. Hero PFR'd after 2 limps (strength), then a shortie push, a call, and now Hero re-reraises (mucho strength). MP is very hardpressed to call OOP against that kind of strength. Put this move in your TAG arsenal. It's a very good weapon.

My hesitance to reraise stems only from the fact that I don't want to fold out hands that we dominate (AQ, AJ). However, I definitely see the positives of reraising here in that we will probably fold out many hands that we coinflip with (22-99).

As I looked at it and asked what better hands will fold and what worse hands will call, I simply erred on the side of "pricing in" villain's possible overcards. In hindsight, I see that the reraise is best. Thoughts?
