I found a table last night that limp reraising preflop seemed to be a way of life. I just thought these hands were funny as they were only 2 of 3 or 4 that it was done to me, but each time I had a big hand. At first, I thought since i always read about doing this with AA, I might get in trouble. After I showed down the first hand, I began to love it.

Hand 2

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with , .
1 fold, UTG+1 calls, 1 fold, MP1 calls, Hero raises, 1 fold, CO calls, 3 folds, UTG+1 calls, MP1 3-bets, Hero caps, CO calls, UTG+1 calls, MP1 calls.

Yet again, same guy that capped it in the first hand preflop did it again.

Flop: (17.50 SB) , , (4 players)
UTG+1 bets, MP1 folds, Hero raises, CO 3-bets, UTG+1 caps, Hero calls, CO calls.

And once again, the preflop limp raiser folds. He folded on the turn in the last hand. I wonder what he had. CO used the auto raise button so this is usually a tell of either an overpair (which I don't put him on) or a draw in my mind. If he had trips, he would be more discreet. I wasn't sure so I decided to just call it down. Mistake?

Turn: (14.75 BB) (3 players)
UTG+1 bets, Hero calls, CO calls.

River: (17.75 BB) (3 players)
UTG+1 checks, Hero checks, CO checks.

Final Pot: 17.75 BB

Results in white below:
UTG+1 has Ad Ts (one pair, twos).
Hero has As Ah (two pair, aces and twos).
CO has Td 9c (one pair, twos).
Outcome: Hero wins 17.75 BB.

Good thing the flop 3 better had the straight draw and not the flush draw. He didn't even try to buy it.

So, I've been limp reraised by the one guy with A5s and then this guy kept trying to buy pots from me. UTG+1 is the original limp raiser from the first hand.

I put them both on my buddy list and hope to run into them soon before they are out of money.

I walked away up $156 on this table....in 1 hour! I got some good cards and they all held but it was really just 3 or 4 pots with these bozos.

Lol -- yeah, there are some people you can't take seriously when they limp-reraise. Really bad players just don't think that far ahead.
