Live 5/5 NL $1k-max Hand #2

[TheGrifter]

Make it $500, he just won a big pot so he might be in the mood to gamble and it will look like you're trying to isolate the short stack.

I would never just call here, but I don't like playing big pots with deep stacks OOP.

[MrTeddyKGB]

I would make a slightly more than PSR to 650 or so, but that is what I always raise when making a re-raise oop. (info hideing and all that.)

[EC10]

to all saying make a big raise (enough to put shorty all in): dont you think this announces to the big stack donk that we have a big hand and he'll play accordingly?

yes, but maybee he is dumb and thinks QQ or AK is a big hand. There is a lot of dead money out there already with that retarded open rasie so lets get it.

[Isura]

These dumb huge raises are more often QQ-TT then KK/AA, so I would make it 400. If he shoves I think you can fold though.

Same game as Hand#1. The PFR in this hand is the SB from Hand#1, he just sucked out in a huge pot before this hand and is a big stack $2.5k~. The button is running bad, and just rebought for $300, giving him a total of $350. I've won a few hands and have about $1700~ or so behind.

3 limpers and the SB from Hand#1 raises to $100, the button calls (leaving him $250), you are in the SB w/KK.

Your action?

I'm confused as to our position, I assume we are last to act. If that is true, I:

I re-raise to $350 straight. We've got the best hand right now, so get more $$ in the pot. I insta-call a push of the big stack.

If we see a flop, I'm probably pushing just about any non-ugly flop. (I don't want an A obv, or paired QQ or JJ)

[mike l.]

i would make it $400 to go thus getting button all in and possibly making initial raiser fold an A.

OP stated that villain called a $100 raise cold out of position with A2off and one a huge pot in the previous hand. Villain is probably feeling pretty invincible; Raise big and get ready to play a big pot.

Regardless we are out of position, need to raise this up every time despite villain's image.

we don't want him to fold an A unless it's AA.
