Reraising preflop with 97o

Yes, I have 9 high.

Exactly. Worth a shot I thought.

The point was to isolate, yes, which worked as the flop was unlikely to have hit BB and will appear scary to him as I 3-bet preflop unless he has a Jack or 3, or a big pair, which I think is less than about a 25% chance.

I thought I had about a 50% chance of getting heads-up with the nutter by firing out again on the turn; the side pot just about covered my outlay. Then it was simply if I beat the nutter or not.

Nutter has K2o and takes the hand. But he showed down 62o previously and loses it all a couple of hands later with 63s.

I lost $2.
