Default Re: 10/20 other side of the coin

While I have never mustered the nerve to pull off such a donk-looking move, I have seen AA min-reraise here on a decent number of occasions and it has always worked out well. You make a call seem very appealing for the reraiser and then he has trouble releasing from a big pot when a board of unders comes if he has an overpair whereas if the UTG player has KK or QQ he feels superweak laying down for not that much if he's not "sure" he's behind yet.

I know it seems stupid, but let's face it: anything you do here is going to be superscary, and a small raise helps you at least extract some chips if somebody thinks you're speeding. Somewhere between a minraise and a half-pot raise seem about right to me.
