What's your re-raising range preflop (full ring)?

[k3nt]

I have always played very tight in terms of reraising preflop. If a guy makes a real raise, I would only reraise with AA/KK and sometimes QQ. Obviously this doesn't apply to people with very loose raising standards, and/or people who make tiny raises like 2x or 3x. I will reraise even AQ or TT against someone who throws out a minimum raise.

But my basic strategy makes me very readable if anybody is paying attention. Since I'm moving up to the $100s I figured it's time to start thinking about table image, at least a little bit.

Anyway, for the first time last night, I reraised AK over a real raise ... three times (all Ongame $100 NL). Once I was OTB and a guy who was first in raised 5x from the CO. I figured his range was pretty wide so a reraise was called for, I popped it to like 12x and he folded. Another time a loose-ish raiser raised to 4x and got one call, I repopped to 12x and only the loose raiser called, then he check/folded the flop. I don't remember the exact circumstances of the third time, but everybody folded preflop.

(For what it's worth, I also folded AK preflop to a 6x raise: I was in the SB and I hadn't noticed the guy raising before.)

I am finding it a lot nicer to be the aggressor. It always makes me really nervous to put in the reraise, though. I need help from you guys to help me stay aggressive!

So, everybody, please share your preflop reraising strategy. Since I'm really new at this, I'll lay out a list of basic questions:

-- What cards do you reraise with (other than AA/KK)?
-- How big do you make the reraise?
-- How often do you reraise with those cards?
-- What circumstances make it a good play?
-- Under what conditions is it definitely NOT a good play?
-- Do you always CB after you reraise?
-- How has it worked for you? What have been the benefits and the risks? How have you managed the risks?

Full ring only, please: anything that applies only to 6-max would just confuse me.

Thanks!

Well, when I played full ring I was an even bigger nit then I am @ 6-max right now. I'd basically only re-raise AA,KK and sometimes QQ.

Now that I've played 6-max (and joined cardrunners), if I were to go back to full ring I'd open up my game a lot. My re-raising range would really depend on how active I'd been at the table and what the original raisers PFR % was.

In position I'd probably re-raise 99+ and AK, maybe AQ. OOP JJ+

I'd also squeeze light if the conditions were right with a lot of non-dominated cards (Like AJ, KJ, KQ).
Conditions being:
1. Loose PFR
2. Loose caller
3. Full stacks

I don't really know what I RR to. I play on FTP and I just smash the bet pot button
