Default Reraising preflop with 97o

Here the nutter on my right is almost all-in, and is playing something like 100% of hands and raising most of those [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

How'd I do?

Paradise Poker 8/16 Hold'em (9 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is SB with 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. CO posts a blind of $8.
<font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, MP3 calls, CO (poster) checks, <font color="#CC3333">Button (nutter) raises</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, BB calls, MP3 folds, CO folds, Button (nutter) calls (all-in).

Flop: (10.12 SB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players, 1 all-in)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, BB calls.

Turn: (5.56 BB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players, 1 all-in)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, BB folds.

River: (6.56 BB) Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>

Final Pot: 6.56 BB

This sounds about right. You can find better spots than 9 high to pull this move.

Only attempt this isolation if you're sure that you can flop two pair or better. Few players have mastered that skill.

You're committing yourself to a showdown with at least one player and you have 9 high.

Well, you are a slight preflop underdog versus a random hand (and it sounds like Button's hand isn't too far removed from that), but if you can manage to drive out BB, MP3, and the poster in the CO with your 3-bet, you will be getting almost 3:1 on the play.

I don't know how likely it is for the other players to be so cooperative, but it almost worked, and your aggressive flop and turn play did at least pick up a SB from the big blind to compensate for your initial investment.

I think the merit of the preflop play depends on how good your chances are of getting heads-up with the all-in player. You are running the risk of catching a piece of the flop and being tied to the pot versus a player with a hand who isn't all-in, so if I were making this play, I'd be hoping to have a decent chance to get heads-up immediately.

Lol. Try fold. You have perfect position on a super idiot and you want to just give him money by isolating him with 9 high. Sigh...

Default I wasn\'t sure if this was clear, so I thought I\'d repost it.

I wouldn't even typically complete the SB in an unraised pot with that piece of goo. Why would you want to isolate somebody who is almost all in unless your hand is a favorite? This would make more sense if it was A9o and not 97o. Are you sure you typed it right?
