Default Re: Reraising Preflop with Previous Callers in NL

[ QUOTE ]
I'd like to hear opinions on this topic...

Situation:

5/10 NL ring game
Average strenght opponents, no rocks, no kamikazes
Everyone is evenly stacked
You are just before the cutoff

Seat 1 (UTG)...FOLD
Seat 2...RAISE to $30
Seat 3...FOLD
Seat 4...CALL $30
Seat 5...CALL $30
Seat 6 (YOU)...???
Seat 7 (cutoff)...???
Seat 8 (D)...???
Seat 9 (SB)...???
Seat 10 (BB)...???

Pot: $105

You have A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] and you want to reraise. You have 4 players still left to act after you.

WHAT DO YOU DO???

Do you just call hoping that one of the players left to act will rereaise so you can reraise again?
Do you raise the pot making it ~$200 to go?
Do you over raise the pot, ~$300+, hoping the players left to act fold and only the initial raiser calls?
Or do you do something totally different?

I am faced with this situation quite often and I always find it as a difficult decision on how much to raise. I am VERY interested in finding out the opinions of others.

This is really a wrong forum for this but from a theoretical standpoint, you do have to reraise most of the time to cut down your reverse implied odds. If effective stack is 500-1000, calling is really bad, unless a reraise is very likely. If effective stack > 2000 or < 300, calling becomes actually more reasonable.
