A hand from todays $30+3 on FT. Field was quite small - 60 participants and it was quite early. I had been active, playing some SC in LP with something like 30/20 on PAH.

Villain was Rags007, a good player, who knows what he is doing. He has been moved to our table 5 hands ago and it was the first hand he was in.

This limp reraise is almost always aa/kk and sometimes ak, so at best you're flipping. This is an easy fold for me.

if he just moved to your table, i'd guess he doesn't know anything about your active image... so it shouldn't be taken into account..

if he's a good player that knows what he's doing, i think folding is correct, although i would do it only if I had been playing good poker and push after a while thinking if on tilt or lacking patience.. lol

I saw 3 l/r PF yesterday... AJ, 88, 33.

I think people have started to use this play more liberally than when Doyle Brunson wrote SS. I shove it.

Tough spot, but I've seen some marignal hands show up here. I shove this

idiots do it with a really wide range but your read is that he has his head on his shoulders..

i'd fold this only because of the amount of people in the hand makes his tendency to get cute a little less.

If he knows what he's doing this is about "what does he thinks that i think that he thinks that i think"... He had 33bb pre-flop and limped UTG+1. I didn't like this spot. I'd fold here.

I have seen the same thing. Shove and if AA or KK you can say NH and pray for a suckout while you open the tourny schedule to register for the next one.
