$5 NLHE Full Ring: micro rush hand reraise preflop to define?

I personally like the way I played this hand because I have seen an utg minraise mean aces all the way through complete crap(utg hoping everyone else is on quick fold). I would like a few opinions though of whether I should have reraised preflop to define the raisers hand better. Also the player that went for the squeeze has called my preflop raises a couple times in the last 10 minutes before this hand, once check folding and the second time donk bet then folded to my 4x raise. I realize now I put 10nl instead of 5nl sorry for any confusion

If you think your read is rock solid your actually ok here because your ip. Your obviously not gonna be happy calling a 4-bet shove so going ahead and flatting isn't a bad idea. I'm not sure about calling the MP2 raise (it also kinda messes up your utg read) did you have some sort of read on him? Was he squeezing a lot?

After the flop things are pretty easy for you, it might have been slightly more +ev to raise on the flop but since this is a rare moment you actually are getting odds to hit there's nothing wrong with calling. You should have flat the river push though.

Yeah I mean MP2 has tons of hands in his range that call the $6 when you flat but obviously fold when you reshove for $8!

And besides who wants to win an extra 40bbs anyway?

I don't think there is a point to it because if MP2 has anything worth calling the $6 with he's probably gonna shove, and it does look a lot stronger facing a all in and a reshove rather than a all in and a call. So yea, I do think he folds to two shoves a lot more than he folds to one.

numbah one, the mp2 had called my preflop raises both times i raised preflop when we were at a table together last night. The first time he/she check folded to me on the flop, the second time he/she donk bet then folded to my 4x of his/her bet raise on the flop. Those two hands, combined with him/her having 3x the max buy in led me to believe that he/she was loose, seeing a lot of flops and stacking off big aces or big pp when his/her hand hit two pair. Also when I just called preflop I thought,after mp2's raise, that it looked like I had a small to medium pp or suited connectors. Since mp2 had folded on flop to my cbet and cbet raise in those two hands, I came to the conclusion that the only way I was going to get any money out of him/her after I hit it,was if he/she had a flush as well, or I check it to him/her on the river to allow the bluff. utg raiser pushed so i thought for a second and came to the conclusion that if mp2 had a hand to overcall 6 dollars, mp2 had a hand to overcall 8 dollars.

I did consider for a second just flatting the river shove.

I agree completely that if he has a hand to call $6 he should be calling $8 also but in the mind of a 5nl player i think you pushing behind looks really really strong to them. I don't give him much credit for thinking about it extremely rational pretty much. Obviously player dependent and not always right, certainly not at 50nl plus.

It goes both ways at 5nl. Ive seen someone shove and then an overshove and then an overcall. Shover had a st8, overshover had a flush and the over caller had 2 pair. Just sayin that 5nl is 90% full of non thinking players.
