I like what Sounded Simple said. A lot of setminers will call a big reraise--to $6 or $7 for example--still trying to setmine. I'd rather punish them with a raise like that than push them out entirely.

I really hate these absurd raises. We want calls with our big hands, this is where our profit is derived from.
1. We want to have villain call our 3 bet. Picking dead money is fine, but KK/AA is far more valuable heads up in position after the flop.

2. If we re-raise to around 3-4 our SPR postflop will be 2.5 or 3. This value is easy for hero to get it all in postflop on any Aceless flop. On flops with an Ace, then Cbet and reevaluate turn and river.
