Re: Amusing reaction to 79s push ( low content )
[ QUOTE ]
With 8BB late in a Stars tourney, I once pushed 66 against a hyper-aggressive UTG+1's 3BB raise. He called with QQ and I drew a 6 on the river. Two railbirds instantly berated me for my ridiculous play, and one in particular could not say enough bad things about me. I was, he reported, the biggest fish on Stars for winning with 66 against QQ.
No more than 5 hands later, the exact same player raised 3BB in early position, and LP with 7BB raised all in. Hyper-aggressive EP called, showing AQo against LP's 66; 66 held up unimproved. Big mouth railbird congratulated him, and when questioned for his reversal of opinion by a player at the table offered this gem: "That was completely different. He was ahead pre-flop."

I actually don't like your reraise with 8xBB and 66. EP raiser may be hyperaggressive, but I don't think this is EV+, particularly if there are others to act.
If he raised to 3xBB and you pushed with 14xBB, this would be a good play, as you have lots of folding equity.
