"If you Can't Call a Reraise...": Two hands where I raise in EP

[Beachman42]

My $0.02:

99 UTG - my default play is to limp in the early to middle rounds of a MTT, but I do not play $150 MTTs. If I am re-raised up to 3-4X BB, I can easily call and evaluate the flop. Otherwise, I raise 3XBB (75% limp, 25% raise).

AQs - default is to raise. If called, evaluate the flop on a pretty conservative "fit or check" line. I have learned the hard way that if 3 unders fall and villian bets, I'm usually (>50%) behind with only 2 more coming. Let pot odds help you with those post flop decisions.
