Are reraises on the flop or turn to near pot bets always a strong hand like a set or overpair? I've been playing several hands and have been coolered way too many times recently such as raising ATs from the BTN, hitting TPTK and bet pot and get reraised. My usual response to this has been a shove which gets called and I lose my stack. This has happened 4 times to me now and Im really just sick of it. Is a reraise always an indication of extreme strength which means TPTK is bad?

In the short... Yes. I have played 100k hands of 2nl and another of 5nl and I can assure you that a decent sized raise on the flop usually means your tptk is beat. If you do decide to call the flop, then if they bet the turn big you absolutely have to throw it away. If they check the turn then they are likely holding top pair at best and they were semi bluffing. However you should really look at your hud if you have one. An aggro person is much less likely to have the goods than a 9/5 nit.

My experiance anyway, others might disagree.

If you're playing the same people regularly, note them. Know the ones who have the goods when they RR and the ones that don't.

+1 to all of this.

If you get reraised and you aren't that strong, why would you constantly shove all-in? That part doesn't make sense to me. Like the General said, if you get reraised, the other guy either is very strong or he is semi-bluffing something big, it isn't very often he is just bluffing or playing some marginal hand. Shoving a marginal hand into that is a recipe for disaster.

Also, it's the micros. Just play standard.

When the flop comes two tone, are they semi-bluffing with a combo draw or did they flop a set? Poker is so much fun.

At 2NL no-one raises draws so i'd say the latter :)

They need to move up to where no one respects their raises! :D

This is a way behind or slightly ahead type of situation. You are usually slightly ahead if the opponent is drawing, but if he has a made hand, you're usually crushed.

Or think about it this way... how often do you see players check-raise at this level with less than TPTK?

Look at the strength of hands that are calling your shoves, make notes and adjust your strategy for that player. Short term variance is a biatch but you must not fall into that trap of being too results orientated.
Posting the actual hands would get you some much clearer advice IMO.
