Thanks for responding Sunny.

Based on your response, your strategy is much worse than I originally thought.

If you are limp-reraising with jacks and KQ in early position pretty routinely and then stacking off with top pair, then you are definitely offering many other areas of exploitation and the fact that now you are not giving information away is not nearly as important as the fact that you are just playing bad poker.

When you say

They are being offered 17.5-to-1 to flop a set ONLY if:

1) they call with pocket pairs and fold everything else,
2) we have big pairs and nothing else in our range, AND
3) we pay them off for our full stack everytime.

There is some truth to what you say. But:

1) They are getting the proper pot/implied odds to call with a lot more hands than pairs, but they certainly want to drop any weak top-pair hands at this point.
2) Like I previously said, if we have a lot of hands in our range here there are even more ways to exploit our play.
3) According to the book, the whole reason we are making this play is to achieve the proper SPR to give us an easy committment decision. There's almost no spots where we are going to fold an overpair (which is extremely likely).

So while we may not be offering 17.5-1, we certainly are offering much greater than 10-1 which is +EV for our opponent.
