Final Pot: t2300

I was pretty lost the entire way here. Do I r/r pf and cont bet any flop? Or do I 4bet jam after the BB r/r? I figured the safer way would be to call and c/f any missed flop. Could I have played this any better?

[cougar62]

I like reraising pf, maybe to 350-400 pf. We're going to be OOP the entire hand and I'd be thrilled if villian folded to be honest. As played your flop play is fine.

[holy32]

I don't like the rr pf OOP.

After BB rr and UTG call there is no reason not to push. You have a strong hand pf / you would be OOP for the rest of the hand if you only called / there is lots of money in the pot.

I will very rarely call 400 BB raise. Unless I plan on shoving most flops I miss.

about 50% of the time I shove 45%fold depending on player. If I think there is a reasonable chance he has AK/AQ aswell if OR folds I call push.

[censored] that was incoherent but I think you get it.

You're saying call the first raise and take a flop, then after it's RR you're shoving? (Not questioning that line necessarily, just clarifying what you meant)

[IFoldPktOnes]

With no reads I would fold to the BBs reraise preflop.

[deepextragully]

After bb r/r and utg calls I would shove

[lacky]

If I'm putting almost a third of my stack in preflop, I'm either planing to put the rest in on the flop, or i played the hand badly. I would either fold, shove pre after the 400 bet, or call and shove any flop. which ones depends on what range of hands I think BB would reraise there, and how tight he plays post flop.

[santiagoz]

I think calling the utg t120 is fine. But on the reraise of
BB i think push &gt;&gt;&gt; fold &gt;&gt;&gt; call.

[RRizGod]

Never call this reraise preflop. Either shove or fold.

I would probably shove and expect to see a underpair.
