Generally speaking, at the lowest stakes imaginable against randoms, how strong is a limp re-raise in your opinion? As in, is it AA >55% of the time?

Be aggressive is a bit more profitable.

I do not like this strategy.

If we are talking about cash, I would use it but in mtts it is a known move that makes the strength of the hand very clear ... since the idea is to make the most of a good hand.

I love the deception in this move.

Let's say you are limping way too much and you have often folded to a very aggressive player and now you decide to limp re-raise him, the aggressive player would more than likely call not thinking you have a monster but could possibly thinking you are just fed up of him bullying you.

Sometimes they just don't think at all and will call anyway.

AA 55%? No way, at the 1-2 cent tables, it means more often that the limper simply got pissed at your raise and is saying "bring it on, I am going all in with a marginal hand". After all, all his stack might be 30 or 40 cents.

Think this should be used selectively because it really polarizes your range- against some villans I like to use this as a bluff.

It all depends on position and your opponents.

I fold almost all my hands against a limp reraise, specially when the villain is in the early positions, usually this move is made by fishes and they are afraid that if they raise with, lets say aces no one will call, so they limp and then reraise when they have people in the pot

From my experience generally the range is pretty good, QQ+ and AK.

Limp / reraise - an effective technique for slowplaying strong hands and for the use of bluff on the pre-flop with passive players. Limp / reraise is effective against aggressive opponents who do not like passive play. This technique works best on UTG and in the small blind. The main disadvantage of limp / reraise is the possibility of forming a multipot.

I will just post a response that does not answer your question with my opinion so I can fit in with everyone else. I like peanut butter sandwiches. Almost seems like people can't read.

Edit: I'll give my opinion. I think it is probably AA less than 55% of the time but probably 77 or better pair or a AQ or AK that in the low stakes players game is a stack off hand on hand every time they see it.

I try not to use limp with this card. Otherwise you can run into the fish.

Very strong from UTG or UTG+1. Usually means Aces or Kings and you are playing with your hand face-up rest of hand. Nice bluff from UTG, if you are a limping kind of player.

If all you want is a raise and a call worth of chips, so be it. Just as easily called by other limpers and end up in a J-high multiway flop, where you just got beat by J-small-suited, that would have easily fold PFR. It does work out perfectly sometimes and is alluring, but likely win more by deceptively just raising with your position's normal starting hand. If you feel the need to do this risky move, maybe you need to merely add in a few more SC's and bluffs to your EP open range to mask your power.

Limp re-raise is super strong.

It's a technique used to trap aggressive players (any 2 card types). I take advantage of this regularly in casinos with good success. The goal is to isolate the aggro player or raiser!

AA for me is huge raise in most of casses cuz you'll get busted with 72 and in generaly 3BB raise will be called instant by half of table in MTT.Let's say is start of tournament and your hand is AA in that case i bet 200-400 from 1500 stack and i pray to play against 1 all in but usual there are 2 or 3 so yea AA is a monster preflop after the flop is a regular hand cuz if all in will be you'll be called with 2 random cards and not 1 time i loosed agains 2 low pairs or a set 222 is regulary on board:))

The limp I do not usually like when I have a strong hand, because I already played like that and lost to trash hands, but it is being used a lot

It's part of the game and nothing to do. You can't always play aggressive with good hands is stupid :) why would you open yourself? sometimes a trick can bring a very good result, I think against those who can not or can't play, but I think that in today's poker, it just will be as a bluff he the same many do not like)) I for a game of limp :) sorry! :) In a cash game it brings much more benefit than in the MTT...

When an UTG player limp reraises at 2NL, I would say it is AA more than 55% of the time. Depending on the raise and stack sizes, I have called and seen many of these hands shown down (usually because I end up flopping a hand that can beat aces), and I am shown Aces way more than half the time. There is a possibility that the hands I have folded to, or that they fold to my aggression on the flop/turn, were the non-AA hands. I still think this is a very range-defining move and it makes AA a much larger portion of their range than anything else.
