1. PF reraise OK? If not, other options?

2. Flop bet... weak not calling w/ AQ?

I generally fold A-Q pf in that spot. I'm not saying that's right, but I hate A-Q, and I'm always suspicious of min-raises. I'm definitely not reraising. Your M is large enough that you don't need to go to war with A-Q.

That said, if I'm first into the pot 5-handed, I will raise every time with A-Q.

He min raised UTG on an earlier hand and i pushed w/ AKclubs... he took a few seconds and called w/ 77.

I'd say he's moderately tight, but willing to gamble.

I would fold as well.

preflop, I'd likely raise to 1000. Enough to keep the SB from coming in for a cheap StopNGo, and make BB play for his stack.

THen, of course, I still fold if MP does this

MP is making this play with almost any two, its jsut that so many any-two beat you here. He should expect you too call, and therefore, he migh actually have at least a pair.. Yeah, I know, that's contradictory to any two.

I'd fold, and if me, have 3600 left.

This is exactly how I play this hand.

Good to hear some agreement that a fold was the right move.

I'm trying different games to try and build my Bankroll, and I've found that the $15+1 stsng's on pokerstars are pretttttttttty soft.

Any advice to what bankroll i should have to play the following sngs?

$6 1 table turbo
$6 2 table turbo
$15 1 table turbo
$10 1 table normal


I want the Least possible necessary... .. or average i guess.
