Limp-reraising in microlimit games

Just raise the first time.

limp reraising makes more sense in pot limit since UTG is hampered by his ability to make a raise. If you raise UTG, other players will often call since you've indicated strength by raising.

I suppose if you were at a table of maniacs and you felt quite certain there would be raisers and you could reraise and get another opponents money all in preflop, a limp reraise would be apt. But quite often when you try to do that sort of thing, you have 4 limpers after you and now you're playing aces out of position against a full field.

Cheers that's pretty much confirmed what I thought. I think it was on a Cardrunners video when I heard FruityPro say he could never understand why someone would limp-reraise and thats what got me wondering about it. But yeah I agree its best to just play aces or kings more straightforward preflop most of the time anyway
