Reraising Preflop with Previous Callers in NL

[Kurn, son of Mogh]

A pot-sized raise would be to $155 if I did my math correctly. I would probably raise to a number between $100 and that.

I would probably make it closer to $175 - $200 to go.

The logic is that you'd rather take your aces against 1 or 2 opponents with some dead money in the pot. If you raise to $120 and the initial raiser calls, the first cold caller is getting better than 3:1 to call. If he calls (incorrectly or not), the rest should call, and you're now taking AA against a big field in a big pot. And while you will have position, position decreases in importance as the number of players increases.

Sure, I'd like a caller or two with my aces, but I'd rather not have 4.

$175 to go.
