Trouble with UTG raisers having small pairs

[ActionFreak]

i am done with this thread because obviously people think it is a horrible question... which i still don't get.. and i can take a little bit of [censored] from other people here that know what they are talking about but you can go back to 1/2 and stop talking trash about my bad posts

Play 6-max so you can correctly re-raise anything.

If this is serious I am stunned. I don't play 10/20 because I can't play it profitably. I don't see how you can either.

Yes you wanna be reraising more frequently than KK+.

Geez this HSNL forum is full of ass holes.

What's funny about your post is you think raising these pairs in ep is a leak, people are destined to go broke, yada yada whereas most see the opportunity in raising these pairs.

Hi d1sterbd,

Most of the time there is a reraise after an UTG raiser people automatically put you on KK+

There must be some way to exploit this...

One of your objectives in poker is to find a way for your opponents to make incorrect decisions against you. By smooth calling an upfront raiser, you are not giving your opponent any decision to make when you have aa (or what you think is a better hand kketc...). Therefore, if you plan on not getting away from aces after the flop, you should make a raise that gives your opponent incorrect implied odds comparative to your stack size to call. Otherwise you should be playing aces very carefully in a full ring game.

I didn't say that or anything close to it. If anything, I like the play some percentage of the time because I think that people in the game will make the same read as I did and you can get paid off more when you hit a set and win most of the pots with continuation bets when other people do not hit sets against you. Most regulars do not raise from EP with small pairs so the second part of your statement is also incorrect.

I think this is a fantastic idea... definitely go ahead and reraise players who are laggy with qq+. Go for it!
I mean why let them hit those little sets right?

I tend to like to raise pre flop with Aces most of the time. That seems to be +EV for me. But then in late position I raise some other stuff too every now and then in late psoition.

When I have a bad vibe I sometimes fold aces pre-flop.
