Default Mixing UP Blind Play??

Villain is a 2p2'er who runs at 20/15/2.5. He's on two of your tables for the last hour and a half. You've repopped his CO and Button raises about 4 times in that period, he's folded every time.

This time he's button and open raises for 3.5 BB. You've got KK in the BB and SB folds, do you just repop again, or do you consider cold calling to mix it up?

Perfect, now you have KK, so reraise (100%). Why would you consider doing anything different having set up a situation like this?

Reraise. If you just call you are going to lose value relative to 3betting in the long run because you are OOP and implied odds work strongly against you. If he knows you are a TAG and you call a raise from the SB and start betting strong he is not going to put much money in the pot unless he has more than one pair.

This situation depends all on what he thinks of you. Apparently he does not think you are terrible or would have called the raises earlier. If his image of you is at all that you can be nitty then you have to mix it up and smooth call sometimes.

smooth calling good hands and reraising bad hands is a terrible way to play

This could be one of the worst possible situations to "mix up your blind play" and call.

If you want to get stacked yes.

Now the whole point of reraising here is to shorten the range of the button thats already seems to be loose. Now if his range for raising in LP is already wide, how can feel good on the flop? If you've had a history of reraising his co/otb steals why not take ADVANTAGE of that image and reraise again. If he's on a substancial hand you might even see a 4bet.

If you flat call in this position you're just asking for trouble, atb you're gonna take down maybe one cbet... that's it.

Reraise for value
