Default Reraised pots are a random roulette?

I would get some opinions about this because maybe i m missing something.
Is it possible to find some infos on the topic?
It seems every session is about if i win reraised pots or no all other things doesn t matter...and everyone seems committed with TPTK

so if you never reraise or call reraises does that mean you'd break even minus the rake?

No obviously but what matters most are the reraised pots.
Don t u agree?
And reraised pots are more easy to play for sure than raised pots with everyone committing with TPTK.

yea i agree alex that is why there are pretty much the same numbers of players playing 3/6 and 50c $1, or if you go to a casino you will see as many $5/10 tables as $1/2 nl tables; the only difference is the players income level and who has been luckiest lately.

Wait are you saying whoever wins/loses the big pots normally wins/loses money on the session?

When stacks are small (100BB and less) the postflop play of 3-bet pots will be a game of high variance and it will seem like it's just luck in the short run, who has TPTK and who has the big draw, or whos got the higher overpair. In this situation a lot of the expected value of the better player comes from adjusting his preflop ranges to the table dynamics and other players. This way, the decisions in the hand are already made once the preflop action is closed (this is true when preflop ranges are tight enough to commit on any flop they connect with and stack sizes allow it). Of course I am not saying every 3-bet pot is just deciding preflop whether or not to go with it, but that is where your feeling of "random roulette" comes from, Alex. The postlop action is very limited, thus you need to select profitable hand ranges preflop to make a profit in the postflop roulette.

Bleh this is such a ramble but I hope I made a point.
