edit: Ok so it isnt horrible, that was slightly harsh. . . You do have to realise that most 10NL players will reraise with a totally different set of hands than you will here IMO though. My original post in full:


Horrible way of thinking about it IMO. The problem is if im AK on a A92 flop and someones calling huge bets I think about my range.
I hold AK, or a set here.
Most 10NL opponents hold any A.

If im reraised the turn my range is AK, AQ, AJ (if i raised preflop) or a set. Most 10NL villains are on a set or 2 pair.

The fact is they reraise when they know they are ahead (or semibluffing) whereas I reraise to find out if im ahead as well as when I know im ahead.

I think you need to think about if you would have made the same moves with a weaker hand, and then consider the type of player youare against, and then consider if they would have made the move with a weaker hand.

In my experience 10NL fish will raise with a monster or with a draw to a monster but rarely with a TPGK type hand that they are buying information for.
