pocket 10s vs two preflop call-reraisers?! wtf?!
1/2, American Legion hall.
V1 calls too wide preflop, chases down gutshots, and probably thinks he's the best player at the table since he has the biggest stack from hitting one of those aforementioned gutshots. Covers.
V2 is new, drunk, and playing like — in his own words, mind you — a "****ing ret**d." He is in the small blind for $1 but has chosen to straddle to $8, because he can and he's a drunk ****ing ret**d. Has exactly $201 behind it.
Hero could be a gorilla, for all these two would notice. My image is unimportant.
Preflop: V1 open-calls from EP, a couple of other calls, Hero raises to $50 on the button with 10♦ 10♠. Kind of biggish, but I was hoping to get heads-up in position against V2. V2 does call, but V1 now limp-reraises to $100, insta-folds to me. I cautiously call the minclick, but now V2 shoves for $209 total. V1 only calls despite the action being reopened.
I have a $109 call into a pot of nearly $450, but I only have about $200 behind if I call. I'm obviously not concerned about V2 anymore, but is he supplying enough dead money to make this call against V1's potential AA?

Open was way too big and this is from the guy who advocates to raising large to isolate and avoid the low stakes rake trap. Backraise from loose passive is usually AKo+ so I'm okay to fold to the min click unless you think he's capable of limp then spewing.
Against your gigantic open he still limp minclick.
I'd say it's premiums only, so easy fold?
As for the calling 109, his range didn't change all of a sudden.
What most likely happens is 109 gets you to see flop only. So it's still easy fold unless he's not putting in money in flop/turn.
I’d just rip it and live with it. Not worried about drunk clown and the min-click wizard is 50/50 nutted vs FOS/FPS. Really not worried about it if either has a premium.
I'm maybe confused ... there's an $8 straddle, an open limp and a couple of other calls? So there's like $40 in the pot when it gets to you?
And effective stacks are like $200, so like 25bb? Or maybe 50bb vs. one V?
Raise seems too small, if anything.
Pairs are hard to make and I don't see me doing anything but shoving at every action after the first raise.
You just calling the min. raise is going to be weird when you reshove as your hand kind of looks like exactly what it is, but eh.
