I would have to feel that the guy is very horrible and very loose to make this call. The limp reraise by a bad player often is a sign of strength and getting all the chips in now does not seem like a good idea.

Raising to 150 is fine of course, but I have been limping JJ for the first couple of blind levels and it seems to keep me out of trouble. By playing JJ this way it is easier to get away from the hand and play it more for it's set value.

Playing JJ for set value when you have a great opportunity to have position is a leak IMO. I will limp JJ when I'm in very early position at a full table in the early levels occasionally, but not when I can get myself in position.

Durron, is your raise standard for you there? 150 seems like an awful lot, but maybe not by much. Seems like 120 is enough to accomplish your goals here. After the reraise, I think its a close decision. I've made a few of these calls recently where the limp/pusher was behind other limpers and I've seen AA, 55, and JJ.

Eh. The fact that he hasn't raised for 5 whole hands doesn't interest me that much. He likes to limp a lot, and now he's seen an opportunity to take down the pot. He can definitely have QQ+ here, but he can also have AT, 66, and even the occasional 87s here.

3 BB + 1 BB / limper?

I don't think 30 chips is a huge deal here, the call is the big thing

Seems standard to me. You see a crappy ace or lower pocket pair way more than you see QQ,KK,AA at least from an unknown.

I'd call. Any player that limps behind another player here with a big pair is an idiot so his range is definitely big.
