One of the hands you had KQs at SB. One limper to the cutoff, he raised to 3BB. Fold to you. You just flat called, but you mentioned that you would have re-raised if it is in higher limit.

I have trouble playing AK, KQ out of position, especially in SB after the pot being raised. I do believe it is opponent dependent. If the opponent is more willing to call a re-raise, we should just call. However, if you could give me more guidelines, I would be really appreciated.

I think you pretty much nailed it. I don't really like reraising with AK, KQ in these games because I got little fold equity and that once they call I have to play a hand that has missed the flop a majority of the time out of position against players who will go to the showdown if they paired up.

In higher stakes you have more fold equity and you have to reraise with these hands sometimes for metagame reasons. Otherwise the range of hands you reraise with from the blinds becomes too small and allows good player to have a good read on you.

Obviously there isn't really such as thing as metagame at NL25.

lol. iSTRONG on my stomping ground. That rusey guy is a pretty big donk, even for this level. The only quarter-decent (I originally put semi here, but that's too much of an honor) player at the table was Devil1983, by virtue of being tighter than most. You got good table selection: during the European day Stars 25NL has a bunch of multi-tabling nut peddlers. Not TAGs, nut peddlers: you can steal their blinds for hours... they don't care.

By the way, I agree that I wouldn't reraise KQs either. Not against an unknown, at least. I was probably more surprised than you were to see him fold.

The T6 hand is one I probably wouldn't have played myself, though I agree with your reasoning when limping behind. I would definitely have reraised the 0.75 turn bet as well, but once she calls, the river's an easy check behind, even if it bricks. This is a line often taken with good hands by donkeys: minbet (or, in this case, call a minbet), make a slightly bigger bet, another slightly bigger bet. She's checking the river because she feels you're going to fire again after you reraise.

In the KJo hand where you bluffed the river, most likely nobody had a pair. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

In the 98o hand, I probably 3-bet to slightly less ($2-3) than his stack size. Donkey psychology says that you might still fold for your last couple of dollars, often provoking them to push. Not sure that would've happened here - I think he had either an 8 or a 9 without a T.

those were the worst players i have ever seen on one table before and ive played quite a bit of NL25 and NL50. that rusey guy was my favorite, i wish you wouldve kept running video so we could see how much he ended up losing.
