When you lead out with a raise in heads up and the other guy instant min. reraises, what read do you get from it?
To me, it suggests he didn't think it through and is just making a play. If he had a K or J, he'd probably reraise to a higher amount and think it through first.
I just had a hand like that and decided the guy had nothing and luckily this time my read turned out to be right.
6 handed ring game, micro stakes. UTG limps in, 3 folds. I am in SB with 44 and decided to raise it up 3.5BB and hope to take the blinds. BB folds, UTG calls.
Flop comes Kd Jd 5s. I lead out with a half the pot raise to test him and he insta-min reraises me. He had shown himself to be a loose player, and my gut told me he didn't have it the way he insta raised it. So I decided to min reraise him back, and he called, affirming my suspicion. The turn comes Kh. I only had about half the pot left at this point, so I decided to shove, hoping he might fold if he had a J. He thinks for a few secs and calls it, and flips over 9d 2d. River doesn't help him and I won.
