PokerStars $109 hand

GBP04 · #1 08-20-2006, 02:41 AM

10 away from the bubble, 46 people left, average stack is 9kish. Blinds are 200/400 and I was moved to this table three hands ago.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t400 (7 handed)

MP1 (t26405)
MP2 (t5885)
Hero (t15300)
Button (t10096)
SB (t6135)
BB (t9290)
UTG (t15393)

Preflop: Hero is CO with Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
UTG raises to t1200, 2 folds, Hero raises to t4000, 3 folds, UTG raises to t15368... Hero?

...shouldn't be reraising if he doesn't know what to do here.
On balance I call.

With no read here, i'm calling. I can lay down Jacks here but not queens. I am also not concerned about being 10 off the bubble because I am more focussed on final tables. However, 1 or 2 spots off the bubble I probably make an exception and fold my way to a cash.

If you're not sure how to respond to a reraise, then --
a. move in yourself
b. just call

As played, absent reads, I fold. At best racing with AK, at worst overpair. You still have some chips to work with - play a pushbot short stack game

Moving in sucks IMO.

Once you raise 4,000 gotta call push. I rr less because I'm in position. If you have are even considering folding to a push 4,000 is too much.

I make it 3,000 and end up calling a push anyway.

I'd call here. I think TT + JJ could be within his range too...
