Default Too aggro with nut straight on rainbow board?

Omaha Hi $0.50-$0.50 PL (real money)



Seat 1: BB ($118.75 in chips)
Seat 2: UTG ($51.75 in chips)
Seat 4: CO ($14.25 in chips)
Seat 7: Button ($31 in chips)
Seat 8: Hero [6 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img],5 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img],9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img],10 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]] ($41.50 in chips)

PRE-FLOP
UTG calls $0.50, CO calls $0.50, Button calls $0.50, Hero checks, BB checks.

FLOP [board cards 6 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img],8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img],7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] ]
Hero bets $1.50, BB calls $1.50, UTG folds, CO folds, Button raises to $7, Hero raises to $23.50, BB folds, Button folds.

Should this just have been a smooth-call? Button is tight.

There are many ways to play this hand, but I think your play is fine. I don't like giving BB a chance to outdraw you, so a reraise makes the most sense. On the other hand, Button's raise-fold does not make any sense ...

If Button is tight, then wouldn't his raise generally indicate the nuts? It would seem that that's not the case here - perhaps he was raising with a nine-high straight.

If I was just against the tight Button, then I think I'd assume he had the same hand as me, and I'd just call - with a view to take the whole pot with a bet if the board pairs or a 9 or T comes on the turn.

But with another player in the pot, and considering the pot is already a fair size, I reraise like you did to get rid of that other player.
