basic question (for a newbie)
 

$50 on party both villian and I have 60 dollars behind us. He has made $4 dollar raises with 22.

UTG limps, he is a bad player who calls pot sized bets with bottom pair. I raise to $4 with QQ, and he reraises making it 10 to go. What is my plan the rest of the hand and why.

Re: basic question (for a newbie)
 

I would fold, limp re-raises especially from terrible players usually means that they were "slowplaying" a hand preflop (I don't need to explain how stupid that is.) I play with it all the time in my home games. I pretty much routinely fold to limp re-raises or minbet/re-raise without KK or AA.

If you were deeper stacked, I'd advocate a call for set value; you're done on a flop that doesn't come Q-high. I think it safe to assume that any limp-reraise means aces or kings from any player whom you haven't seen show down a lesser hand.

I also disagree with the replier. The limp-reraise can be a very profitable play in a loose & aggressive game with many pots being raised & reraised preflop behind you.

Ya, I folded but I felt like a huge wuss for it. And I did almost call for set value. What would you do with two kings in this spot?

Most donks that make this play however, arent doing based on game conditions. They are doing because, well, they are donks. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Too true. This is not a standard line by any means. Remember, also, that a LRR completely gives away your hand (unless you're engaging in some kind of mind-boggling Shania JTs L-RR), so if you're going to do it, you must reraise to an amount that ensures that, should you somehow see a flop, you can open-push it no matter what comes and be correct to do so.

As for kings... see queens advice above, seriously. I'm not sure I have a L-RR hand anywhere in my 100,000+ pokertracker database that wasn't aces or kings. If you've got two kings, it's overwhelmingly more likely that the L-RRer has AA.

No [censored].

Seriously, If I sat down at a 1c/2c game, I couldn't fold QQ preflop, because I couldn't care enough about $1.

I assume you are practicing for HSP because it plays like NL50 :-)
