Why so much the first time? t100 gets the job done. Pretty easy fold barring a strong read that SB is a super donk.

either raising or calling is fine, but your raise amount is big, 100 tops over 1 limper. as played pretty easy fold.

I don't see a 7BB raise in level 1 as bad, actually with a couple of limpers is better than 100.

Also what do you mean with "gets the job done"? what are you trying to achieve with that raise? Certainly not winning the pot right away but building it up.

I am also not particularly sure folding here is correct, wich range would you put villain for such a reraise?

Does he really make such a bet with AA or KK?
If he is playing face up JJ is instacall right or would this be EV- even with dead money in the pot?

Shillx, this is pretty bad IMO. Raising it is very profitable and it's not at all difficult to play postflop, either you hit or you don't. Decisions are rarely tough.

Did you notice the UG+1 limper in the pot before hero?
