The limp-reraiser was pretty new to the table. Only hand I've seen them showdown was a KQ raised UTG (and called reraise) but they had already limped once in EP and folded to a raise and a push behind.

I bitch and fold this

Would Villian be doing this without 1010+/AK+?

Absolutely fold this hand. Almost every time I have run into a limp-reraise, they have turned over KK or AA.

Annie Duke wrote an article about playing Aces like this in Bluff, and she broke down how terrible of a play the limp reraise is because it is so obvious.

Well I'll play the devil's advocate here and tell you why it was a tough decision. Because of the SB's call (who I wasn't worried about), I'm gettin 1.9 to 1 odds for calling and therefore need 35% equity or better against UTG+1's range.

Against a range like TT+, AQ+ that graydot suggested I'm actually 47%. Against just AA and KK, I'm 18.7%. Even throwing in AK with the AA, KK, I'm 40%. I know that there's a good chance this is AA or KK and I can fold with 15 BB's left but I have seen the same play with AJ, 88, etc--apparently someone who just wanted to see a flop, get pissed that it got raised and think they can take a nice pot or somethin, who knows.

I think you see 88-1010 here often enough to make the call.
