Sometimes you watch hands, where you really wonder what your opponent are holding.
What would you put villains on in this hand? I have a note on SB, he raised 8xBB UTG+1 and min-raised the next hand UTG.

My thoughts: 16xBB raise in SB seems extremely aggressive with a premium hand, after one limper. I think AA, KK & QQ are unlikely.
Flop: SB bets small, after having raised PF. Either this is a strong hand, or a fishy bet. BB rereaises - trying to steal the pot? My guess here is small overpair for BB - 99 or TT.
Turn: SB checks? After having reraised the turn, he checks? Was it a poor bluff? BB's check pretty much rules out TT from his hand. A weak 7?
River: SB checks again. BB makes a big bet - could be 99. SB almost min-check-raises?? A 9? What nines could he have, that he played the flop like this? 99? BB folds with incredible pot odds - almost 5:1?! A pure river bluff from him?
I'd really like to know the hands and the thoughts of the players in this hand - what would you guess they were holding?
