He still was not a TAG. It was more like, chips were flying on this table and he probably was card dead. My read on him is that he is likely to be aggressive in this blinds battle both pre and post-flop.

raise to 5k, call a reasonable reraise and shove majority of flops.

Does anyone agree with me that limp/folding is terrible?

Yeh I agree with this and grayx's reasons for limping. I think raising puts a massive target out there for an aggro player to resteal and I really hate calling off this many chips with KJ considering how relatively deep we are. I much prefer the limp reraise all in to the raise/reraise/call option too.

If Villian raises to 6000, I think I flat call and imagine that he will bluff alot of chips away when we hit. If he raises to 8000, then I think the reraise all in becomes a viable option.

I would fold if he shoved. I wouldn't fold to a normal sized raise though, I'd probably call but I don't hate the limp reraise either.

The best approach, I think. But UCLA brings up a good point in regards to V's blind play. It's an issue that hasn't been addressed.

What sort of flops are we not shoving?

With this villian and these stacks, the only raise he's going to make is going to be a shove. That is unless he tries to get tricky with a monster. I don't see him just reraising to 15-20k with a marginal hand as a resteal.

I really really hate this. This is why people get stacked in the blinds because they suddenly get reckless and pay no attention to ranges and the fact that the BB might have a hand once. This plan seems to have no logic IMO. I can't even articulate very well why I hate this but I do.

Is it just me?
