Default Re: SB vs BB, What Line do you take?

Re-Raise PF: You have a monster and position vs. a likely weak hand.

Flop: No reason to give him credit for anything, and you have a huge draw, looks like a nice spot for a semi-bluff. Raise it up.

Turn: Given how it's played out... call is good. His weak bet means one of a few things:
a) He's trying to price himself in on a draw, this would be excellent.
b) He has a big hand and wants you to raise him.
c) He has a weakish made hand (Overpair to the flop, Ax that hit the turn) and is trying to get value from weaker holdings.

In all of these spots, a call is best. He's drawing at 1-5 outs if you're ahead, and the pot's not too big, so giving a cheap card isn't terrible. If you're behind, that card could could be a lifesaver.

If you raise the turn, and get re-raised.... then you're in an ugly ass spot.
