I have been finding that many TAGs are very aggressive preflop. They will reraise with a wide range of hands, sometimes as a outright steal play if i'm raising from the LP. So the 3rd raise can't always be AA or KK or you will be giving away too much. I sometimes trap with big pairs but lets face it, high pairs do not come around very often. In any case I would prefer to be aggressive and put in a 3rd raise with marginal hands.

Best hands to do this with? AK, SC, Axs? Of course this move would be used sparingly and only against good players.

If I put in the third raise it will almost be 1/3 of my 100BB stack. Pushing on the flop would be flop dependent.

Is this chip spewing?

What stakes?
Full ring or 6 max?

Of the hands mentioned if you find you are being re-raised light and want to make a stand then AK is best (as you are less likely to be facing AA or KK as you have one of each) and as hands that aren't paired benefit from seeing 5 cards to improve you are often going to be best off just pushing it.

This sort of re-raise battle is very rare until you get up to the $400 tables though in my experience.

Sounds like you are trying to get fancy and create plays unnecessarily.

If you consider yourself an excellent post flop player, then you can get away with a lot more preflop and make big moves with marginal holdings profitable in the long run.

I like reraising (3 betting) AK AQ AJ, pp's above 88, and sometimes suited connectors in the 6-9 range. 67, 78, 89.

I don't find myself 3 betting with complete junk ever.

If the guy is reraising you with a wide variety of hands, he isnt TAG. Hes LAG.

yeah but he was a scandinavian LAG directly on my left. i was pretty sure he was getting sick of me stealing his blinds and just trying a re-steal. so raise from SB with 95, he thinks too long for me to believe he has a legitimate hand and reraises, i re-reraise and he folds very quickly.
