I have the book. What specifically are you referring to in the book. Page numbers would be really good.

I really don't understand why we do this. At 50 and 100nl where i play most of the time, reraising will often fold the original raiser leaving you with a small return for your big hand.

Flat calling disguises your hand completely and you can often win a huge pot by doing this.

I am aware of other factors involved but would rather hear from you all first, in this discussion, so i will better understand the principles involved in playing these hands this way.

sarcasm never does much for me when i'm trying to understand something better. take it elsewhere.

Little sense of humor never hurt anyone [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Seriously though, not reraising these hands is going to cost you a boatload of money in the longrun. Like others have said before, if you're not getting action, your 3-betting range is likely a bit too small. I love to reraise with hands like 65s, 22-44 occasionaly, T9o. It's important to keep in mind what you want to happen postflop when you reraise.

Out of curiosity, what is you sample size of "not getting action?"

my sample size is 3 years of play and about 300,000 hands most at 50 and 100NL. Its not scientific, its just a sense of how often the original raiser folds when reraised. More at 50NL than at 100NL.

are you one of these types who limps w/ these hands and then whines endlessly when they get cracked by one of the 4-6 people who saw the flop?

No. You'll have to find your associates elsewhere.
