Somebody sits down at a 25NL table with $15 (60BB), posts a newbie BB UTG and open pushes.
What do you call this person with and why?
Complete story later......

Never seen them before? Definitely AA - QQ, AK. Probably JJ, TT, AQ.
It also depends on my position, my stack, and whether anyone else has me covered. If I'm on the button, SB or BB and everyone else has folded, I will include JJ, TT, AQ.
I almost definitely be pushing any hands I play unless there's a possibility I might be playing for really big stacks. In that case I might call and fold to a big push if I have a hand AK, JJ or less. Reads count.

How about if you know something about villain, say he's 27/9 over 200 hands?

How is this for fast playing. Some player lamented that he folded TT after the KK reraise, so it worked out perfectly for me (If TT got involved he would have flopped a set).

Dont be results oriented.
1. Dont post UTG
2. There are ways to play AA that get more value from the hand than open pushing. You got lucky he had KK and you should have WANTED TT to call, regardless of the outcome.
3. Dont buyin short
4. Dont post UTG

I usually don't post UTG, but for some reason I thought this coming hand would be me in BB so I just unchecked the "wait for BB" box.
Curiosity is the key. Playing this way people might think I am just crazy and would call with some medium PPs or big Aces to call out of suspicion. And fortunately enough, yes I found someone who was willing to tangle or play the role of policeman.
Lastly, I usually buy in half and then add more money maybe 1 orbit later if I find out that the table condition is acceptable (which is the case most of the time).
