depends
^lol. . .care to elaborate???Usually people don't call a raise that is that big pre-flop.
I'd say you should reraise anyone that tries to reraise you pre-flop.
As for reraising an initial raiser, it depends. Is the reraiser an aggressor? Can you make anymore money off of him?
It's time to fold when you see a scary board. Usually any pair on the board should scare you if there are too many players in the pot. However if you eliminate the players down, you should have the best hand.
Look to your left. Look to your right. Put on your shades. Shove it over on those bitches and watch them crumble.how would you play pocket aces when you raise 5x BB and you get like 5 or 6 callers?

Don't insta-shove pre-flop in early position. All you'll usually get is the BBs & the SBs, because everybody will know that you have a monster.Pre-flop though, AA is always an insta-shove no matter how many others are in the hand with you.
heres how the hand went from what i remember:
$.2-$.4 cent NL cash
im second to act i raise to .20
a few folds and 5 callers (there was 9 players)
about 2 callers have me covered the rest have about equal stack
flop comes 5-6-7 rainbow
i raise like 1/2 pot, and now i got a little more than half my stack in
all fold and 1 guy shoves. i knew right there some donk hit 2 pair and possibly a straight, but i got equity now, so i call
villain turns over 3-4s (clubs), which made me want to vomit that someone played this, and that what was likely the worst hand ended up winning

I play 34s if Im last to act after that action, and I feel like gambling. if i hit the flop hard I win, if i dont I fold. if someone has 89 so be it. first time ive seen this thread.heres how the hand went from what i remember:

Yah wtg man. You're eatin' into my bottomline here ^ . You keep tellin' 'em the right stuff is costing me my 'smokes money'I understand having pp's cracked, but have no knowledge of whether or not the villain is a bad player, I do know that this is merging range, and can be super profitable in the right spots, like here.
I'm not saying that calling a x5bb raise w/ low SC's was solid, but it worked, alot of the best players know to play merged hands facing a decent preflop raise (5xbb), because based on a particular ppl's table image a 5xbb raise is usually a very strong hand and often JJ+>
a merged hand allows someone to out flop PP's a good percentage of the time, if not its a very easy fold decision, flop or turn.
make a note that: villain plays low SC's, and will call strong preflop rasies. alot to learn imo from the frustrating beats. . .all the best!
I would have raised to like .35cents to keep an idiot like that from wanting to call. He probably was third or fourth to act and had implied odds to see the flop. We all have made decisions at one point or another based on implied odds; That was a straight gamble on his part but the pot odds at four or five to one gives him the technical "right price " to see the flop. Hell I once called a pre-flop raise when I was in the big blind with 7 2 suited because 6 ppl were already in the pot at a ten person table. LOL flopped two pair and turned a boat... I was extremly lucky in that senerio, but my point is that you need to make them pay DEARLY to draw.heres how the hand went from what i remember:

How is it that you have half your stack in with a 1/2 pot bet on the flop?

765 I would just b/f or c/f.
I am still wondering how anybody could possibly be stupid enough to call a 3/4 pot bet on the turn w/2 over-cards already on the board. That could be a leak.
What do you specifically mean by "results oriented"?
