You dont want to be re-raising a TAG that raised UTG unless you have a premium hand.Originally Posted by KingLizard
OK .. Renton, help me here. Let's say TAG opens UTG with 6xBB preflop raise, LAG in MP calls, and I on the button (looking to "open my reraising range") reraise with a reasonable hand. I would expect the TAG to have a premium hand and the LAG to have something only decent (most likely looking to chase a flush or str8). I would think I need a very good hand to reraise the TAG. How would opening up my range be +EV in this situation? I would expect the TAG to call (because his range indicates a good starting hand) and the LAG to call (because ... well because he's a LAG). I might even get a reraise from either.
Can you explain? Thanks.
It sounds like you have good reads on the people at your table, now you just have to apply those reads. I would say the answer is to just play solid poker, fold when it's clear you are beat, and if you think they might be bluffing dont always auto-fold.
You cant be afraid to raise in late position and c-bet the flop. Thats how you make most of your profit. What you need to focus on is the post flop play, and determine when you should raise for value, when you should fold when its clear you are beaten, ect.
