Default Re: Thoughts on this hand?

764 is an unthreatening board when someone reraises half their stack in a low level SNG?

If you say so.

Unthreatening from his perspective. As in there's no flush draw, although there are some unlikely straight draws. Sets are easier to see because people will only take a strong lead when there is a clear draw on board, and otherwise play it meekly. The action to him was check, check, and then a bet of less than half the pot... No one has showed strength, why would he make a huge reraise if there's no flush draw? Does he have two pair and is really worried about 89?

My answer is that he very likely has a pair and is afraid of losing to overcards, or has a straight draw and wants to take it down. I'd say strong when weak and weak when strong applies very well to low buy-in sng's. Again, do you disagree?

Steve
