Don't let short term results fool you. Keep playing your solid game. Players who raise low pocket pairs preflop will certainly go broke in the long run. Sometimes you can reraise with AA preflop, but frankly you're giving up too much money by not trapping them. Good post.

I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry.

Everyone knows you get value out of AA vs an underpair by letting them see the flop.

I can see why you guys think this post was so funny and I guess I can see that you guys reraise big pairs preflop no matter what range you guys put the villian on. Its not like I am saying that I am smooth calling with aces preflop no matter where the raise came from regardless of my position. Most of the time there is a reraise after an UTG raiser people automatically put you on KK+ and I was trying to avoid that.

Does anyone who actually plays full ring care to comment on how many people they see raising UTG with small pocket pairs at 5/10 and 10/20 on party? If you see it a lot then I can see why this post might be that funny. If not, then it is a perfectly legitimate post. If you don't even play full ring on Party then I don't know why you are responding to this post.. much less in a negative way.

i don't play 10/20 and i don't play fullring but i still find it painfully obvious. if you find that people put you on KK+ every time you reraise an EP raiser preflop and you seriously have no idea how to adapt or take advantage of that, you're an idiot and should move down in stakes. there.

i will move down in stakes when it is not profitable for me to play at these stakes. it is not just me that people put on a big pair.. it is most of the people who play full ring and it is not so much about that as it is me putting people on small pairs when they raise from EP. i smooth call preflop in some situations with AA and i think it is the right play for a couple of different reasons. the main point of the post is to find out the frequency of people raising preflop from EP with small pairs in the specific game that i play in because i just started seeing it.

if it is so painfully obvious to you and if i am such an idiot.. why don't you move up in stakes?
