riiiight. a short stack limp raises u. its an auto shove.
u have predefined your preflop limp raise shove back "range". because if it comes to showdown everyone on the table will think ur range here is AA/KK/AQ+/QQ ish.
there is the setup for the meta game (a game within a game where prior history has set up the play that the thinking player (your opponenet) is waiting to set up with a limp reraise (hoping you will shove)
10 hands later u get AK in late and 2 limpers. effective stacks are 30 bbs deep.
u raise the limpers 4bbs and the first limper reraises u 15 bbs. heres the science bit:
equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 36.429% 34.71% 01.72% 367279164 18216528.00 { QQ+, AQs+, AQo+ }
Hand 1: 63.571% 61.85% 01.72% 654491652 18216528.00 { QQ+ }
your range is the top one (u happen to have AK in this case)
so GIVEN the fact that you have reraised AK and SHOVED over the top before. the limp reraise here is +ev because opponents range is ahead of you.
that is an example of meta game is.
the way to combat this is to only raise 4x 2 limpers and shove back with KK+ next time.
equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 64.650% 60.76% 03.89% 162302088 10389714.00 { KK+ }
Hand 1: 35.350% 31.46% 03.89% 84037908 10389714.00 { QQ+ }
and there u have it.
