Default Re: (re)raising with second best hand to narrow field

In hold'em, seems to me this play would be something along the lines of:

you're in late position with J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]10[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Flop comes 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

you've got overcards and backdoor flush draw.

EP player bets (you think he has something like A9 or TT) and you raise.

Your raise would knock out players with hands like QJ, AT, KJ, or at the least give them poor odds to call. It would also allow you to take a cheap card on the turn.
