Here are a couple situations:

Hnad 1: I open raise black AA OTB to $14. BB reraises to $60. I suspect his range is fairly wide here and I don't want to push him off his hand so I just call. Effective stacks are $400.

Flop: $121 [5d][9s] Villain bets $80, I push. Thoughts?

Hand 2: I raise behind a limper from the CO to $16 with [Kh]. Villain OTB reraises to $56. Limper folds, I call.

Flop: $122 [4s][2s] I check, villain bets $80. My action is? What do you think of me not reraising preflop here?

hand 1 is good.

hand 2 i would rather 3-bet preflop since u r OOP vs. the re-raiser. if he gets my stack with AA, then oh well.

as played i think after he bets on the flop i would raise or push. may lose value vs. QQ-JJ hands - but maybe he will play if he has Qs...whats his pf re-raise range - normal?

Thanks for the input guys. Hand 1 villain surprisingly instacalls with his [9d]

Hand 2: I folded. I think most reraising hands have me here, but I think there are probably enough 99-QQ or bluff possibilities in his range to warrant a push here. That said, the fold is lower variance by far. However, I agree 100% that I should reraise this preflop, especially OOP. I think not doing that was a huge mistake.

#1) Pushing is fine, but with that flop and position I probably just call because only an idiot is getting stacked there with less than QQ if you push

#2) Based on how you played preflop (which is fine) I think I might lead $70 into him and see what he does. If I was feeling frisky i would check raise all in.
