    Default Reraising or folding (10NL)

    I'm a relatively seasoned tourney player looking to expand my game into cash. I've been reading Theory and Practice, a lot. I think I'm on my forth or so read at the moment. I figure something will eventually sink in .

    Ok, onto hand 1. Obviously we want to raise our best (made) hands here, call behind with our hands with show-down potential (and re-raise our best hands we wouldn't normal continue with as bluffs?). Do I need this kind of balance 10NL?

    Hand 2. Reraising is fine here?

    Hand 1

    Not a lot of information on the villain, 15/12/inf over about 30 hands. He seemed to be getting a little more active immediately before this hand and generally seemed to come out firing a c-bet after raising pre-flop.

    Total pot: $4.35 | Rake: $0.20

    Hand 2

    Only played 10 hands against the villain who was running at 40/20. It seemed like a likely blind steal to me.

    Hand 1 is a fine bruff.
    Hand 2 is super standard. His range is wide and you have equity. I might just re-raise to 80c and shove any flop.
