sippin I think this is fine. Opponent doubtfully has AK/44/55. I think he might raise those hands a little less, if raised at all.

Most of the time I guess you are up against a middle pair. But you can't ignore the risk he has made a set on his low limping pp. But I guess you have to reraise anyway, and not easy to find the amount to reraise with that can get you off the hook if he really flopped a set.

Um... Someone maybe limping AK just to change things up, 55/44? Do 55 or 44 even limp in that position? Yeah, I can't see much that limps that is ahead of you. Unless the guy is a total donk, I can't see K5 or K4 - also having a hard time with 45s. Looks a lot like KQ/KJ or maybe KTs - maybe 67[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] for a combo draw.

Given that even if you lose here you're not busted, I think it's a good move.

This is not too much fun to do, but it's profitable.
