Just opened up a small account on party to test the waters (Im a pokerroom regular). An interesting hand came up and im wondering if there was a better way for me to play it. On the flop I think my call was ok, as I was pretty sure I was going to be raised off the hand if I put in a re-raise. No reads, I had just sat down.

First, what hands do you possibly think the SB is betting on the flop?

Second, what is the Hero's action on the flop?
