Stars $50 - AKs reraise OOP

[JSampras1]

I never said he was a maniac. He had played 10 hands. That's the only one i saw. Would you prefer no reads on the guy?

Also ok fine, i reraise 7 times his raise preflop. Say they both call. I'm check/folding then? If i made it $7, then isn't check/folding to a short stack all in when i'm getting nearly 2-1 horrible?

No. But the hand you gave was very ordinary, and the only reason to consider getting all-in against SB when he check-raises half his stack is because you think he's a maniac who does this a ton with no pair.

Idk, but it seems like you're trying to imply that this is ridiculous. Reraising to $7 is 4x + $1 for every caller + an extra $1 for limper/being OOP. Maybe I'm wrong but I think this is pretty normal.

Reraising to $7 changes the dynamic of the hand entirely. It's much less likely that both will call in the first place.
