PokerStars $50 NL FR. Playing the $50s while I get used to the software and also the style of play. It's only my second session at the site.

Get AA otb. Folds around to the CO who raises to $2. I reraise to $5.

A word on the size of that reraise. This CO seems to have a penchant for steal raises to $2. The first time he did it he was OTB and I was in the SB. I reraised to $5 with TT and he instafolded. My thinking at the time was that I didn't want to get in too deep with just TT, and he was probably full of sh*t and would fold to any decent raise. I was right, he did and he was.

Then he did it again from the CO and I reraised to $5 again, this time with 87o. He called this reraise but then check/folded the flop.

Then he did it AGAIN from the CO and I reraised to $5 yet again, this time with ATs. He called again and check/folded the flop again. I'm liking the way this is going.

Anyway, that's why I reraised to just $5 with AA this time. I'm really hoping he picked up a hand this time and is sick of me and will come over the top with as little as TT or AK/AQ.

Question #1: do you hate the reraise to just $5 instead of $6 or $7? If I'm going to be reraising both as a resteal and with big hands, do I need to be bumping it to more than $5? I think that so few people at $50 NL reraise anything other than AA/KK that any reraise gets a lot of respect the first couple of times you do it.

The BB cold calls the reraise. Wasn't expecting that! CO thinks and calls too. I have about $65 and the BB covers.

Pot is $15.50 and the flop is 844 rainbow. I like that flop, I'm really only worried about 88. Check, check, I bet $15. BB calls, other guy folds.

BB hasn't done anything crazy to this point.

Pot $45.50. Turn is a Q and the BB bets $10. I think and decide to flat call.

Pot $65.50 is a 2. No flushes, no straights. BB pushes for my last $35 or so. And I ... do what?

Comments on any and all streets welcome. Thanks.

Insta-call the river.

I like the way you played this, including the pf re-raise to $5 given your history.
