I really don't understand why we do this. At 50 and 100nl where i play most of the time, reraising will often fold the original raiser leaving you with a small return for your big hand.

Flat calling disguises your hand completely and you can often win a huge pot by doing this.

I am aware of other factors involved but would rather hear from you all first, in this discussion, so i will better understand the principles involved in playing these hands this way.

Little sense of humor never hurt anyone [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Seriously though, not reraising these hands is going to cost you a boatload of money in the longrun. Like others have said before, if you're not getting action, your 3-betting range is likely a bit too small. I love to reraise with hands like 65s, 22-44 occasionaly, T9o. It's important to keep in mind what you want to happen postflop when you reraise.

Out of curiosity, what is you sample size of "not getting action?"

my sample size is 3 years of play and about 300,000 hands most at 50 and 100NL. Its not scientific, its just a sense of how often the original raiser folds when reraised. More at 50NL than at 100NL.
