Party 20k Gtd. - 100 left, AQo contemplating appropriate reraise

JMills109 · #1 06-07-2006, 11:40 PM

Villain has been bigstack since I got to the table about 75 hands ago. He hasnt met much resistance to minraises, save for 2 resteals from myself and 1 from another. Last time he raised UTG was the last time I reraised with AK to which he used all of timebank and folded. My image should be aggro when opening but tight otherwise. What kind of reraise is approprate here?? 21k seems right to me..... Thoughts?

Edit: Blinds 1500/3000 ante t75 i think.

edit your post to help clear things up ( no blinds or ante info). Putting in a 1/3 of your stack to a UTG open scares me. Why not flat call and see a flop? You have position? What are the people left to act do, probably fold given your info. See a flop and maybe he donks off more of his stack.

I would flat call, since you have 10x his raise and he raised UTG. Any reraise is basically playing for all your chips, and that is cEV- against an UTG raiser with AQo, even if he is aggressive. Plus much of the table is to act and someone else could have AQ dominated.

I really don't mind a fold here unless villain has been extremely aggressive. AQ is not a good hand against an UTG raiser. If he is stealing UTG, he will run into bigger hands than AQ often enough.

Edited in blinds, ill try and fix the converter once I bust/take it down.

Also, he has mad frequent minraises UTG, like 65-70% of the time.

I would still probably call.

If you reraise, it doesn't matter much how much. You are pot committed for all of your chips.
