If raising is a giveaway to everyone at the table that you have AA-QQ, AK then you have a serious image problem.

You can't just call twice preflop with KK vs. 2 opponents. That's insane.

I dunno I think you're giving this guy too much credit. I highly doubt he folds TT-QQ or AK. Plus, if we just flat call, we let everyone come in for really cheap.

This is a semi rant I've been meaning to go on for awhile. It is not a problem with his game it is the nature of full ring games. Post in the FR cash forum and ask what people should be raising UTG it is very tight. So by three betting a range that is very tight it is clear that your hand is very strong. If you want to start making range balancing plays and start three betting UTG raises light in full ring games be my guest.

Make a reraise now and think about folding if old guy moves in. That spot is where you'd really just have to use your judgment of a player

I like calling from the impression I get from you 21+ guys joking about how nitty the WSOP plays. Seems like if we 4-bet now, there's like a 1% chance that one of them goes "WTF? He didn't raise the first time! I call, obv." like they do 80% of the time online.

Anyways I ended up repopping to 5K but I think it's a mistake, the old guy has such a huge here most of the time and I'm putting myself in a spot to fold worse hands and get called by better I think.

So, I reraise to 5K, old guy calls pretty quickly, and Euro finally gets out. Flop Qxx rainbow, what's my plan?
