What do you gain by simply calling these pf raises?

[jamez_kerry]

I disguise my hand. I think if I come out raising the button raise its fairly obvious I have a big hand.

I got a bit cheeky with the 2nd call pf. Was expecting MP to raise again, which I was then going to push.

In ordinary circumstances I'm going to pop in a raise when the Btn raises for the 2nd time, fairly sure that one of them has a big pair.

[Albino Lobster]

I understand that you are disguising, but you have two guys that obviously like their hands. I rarely LRR so this hand is quite foreign to me... which is why I posted. I hope someone has something smart to say.

Edit: And yeah, I like the flop shove.

Just raise preflop. There is no reason to be tricky at these stakes.

Yeah I agree...think I was just being a little self-indulgent here [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

[shooot@04]

personally everything looks fine to me, it just sucks that he most likely has TT or JJ and you got screwed.

I can see why you want to disguise your hand here but w/ 2 players that keep raising here, I feel I need to get my hand out into the open to make sure I dont get out flopped

[zyrrth]

wow, this hand is a disaster.

[thevirus32]

No reason to call preflop, put in a heavy reraise and hope he shoves. Otherwise in your current position I think your shove was fine given the preflop action. I think your most likley to see QQ or KK here.

In "ordinary circumstances" you need to raising AA from UTG and go from there. Occasionally, limp reraising it might be fine, but you need to actually reraise when you get the chance.
