Default Re: 25NL 99 against a re-raise

Raising to 6BB is too much with one limper. I generally use 4BB + 1 per limper. That said, if I have reads and my opponent is aggressive, I happily call a 3bet, even against a limp-reraise, in position provided the stacksizes are appropriate just because the people that make this kind of play will get stacked 99 times out of 100 if you catch a set. Here, you have not given the stacksizes, so it's hard to judge. Regardless, limp-reraise from an unknown at 25NL (which is what I play) almost always means KK or AA. Fold unless the stacks are deep enough to give you set-value.

If the raise is to $4.5, you need to have something like $45 on the table each to make it +EV. This is because 9 times out of 10 you will lose $4.5, and the last time you will make $45 if you stack him. What this also means is that if you catch, you need to play your hand fast.
