Two limpers followed by a BTN min-reraise. I think reraise is worse than calling but possible. Stack size is 75 bbs. Thoughts?

I need some clarification, you limped UTG, 2 players limped behind you, button raises to 4$?

No, I raised 5BB with KQ preflop, got 2 early callers and BTN min-reraised. My stack is 75 bbs. Costs me $15 to win $75. But it has to be a clear call. The question in my mind is to bet back. What do you think against an unfamiliar line up?

Making these kinda plays against unknown opponents is gonna leave you in the dark preflop and postflop will be a mess.if you gonna shove.. shove go for it but trying to 3 bet lite and getting called out of position to take a flop isnt my cup of tea.

Two things:

1) If ur playing short in 6-max, be prepared to play for stacks.


2) Don’t open big from UTG without having a hand worth shoving pre (that’s how you got stuck in that spot).


As played, you should call and decide whether to shove or not post-flop.
