Default Re: $5 Stars 5card Bad push hand ?

Yesterday I won some big multiway pots with Aces up and Kings up and made the final table. Today my trips got drawn out on and I didn't make it to the first break [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

That said, I do not like the limp-reraise play here-I prefer a hand stronger than two pair for the limp-reraise. By just limping, the button's raise can come from a wide range of hands. He could have low 2 pair or even one pair (like the JJ the player actually held) and is just trying to win the dead money immediately. If you raise and he re-raises, then you have a much better sense that the button is serious and you can act accordingly. It will still be a tough decision, as a fold/call/push could all be the best play depending upon the villain's betting patterns.
