I stopped playing on the Party network for the time being until this mess with Party and its rakeback is straightened out. Instead I deposited 3 grand into Stars and got started trying to clear their 150$ bonus.

Here's one that got me thinking for a while. Whenever I raised pre-flop I kept getting reraised by someone at my table. It seemed to happen nearly everytime. No reads on this particular villain.

Whats your play here and why?

I'd fold these hands until you've had more time to observe him. It makes zero sense, but some opponents actually do this with K-K and A-A. Maybe because they're afraid of playing poker. A lot will do it with A-K, which would result in a $100 game of bingo for you.

Edit: By the way, we're at the same table right now on Pokerstars.

Well, if you say you are getting re-raised a lot and you could be showing weakness this could be a typical lag putting a play on you. Personally i would call and if its AK AA KK i pray i hit my Q.

What i think they have is TT

With no read I fold. You have a good chance of being a 4 to 1 dog and I think at best you are a coin flip.
