Guy just sat down few hands ago. My thoughts were I had 4 to a wheel to secure my low, had a pair, and had two hearts for a flush if that came into play (even though it is a low flush--we are heads up).

How did I play this?

Why did you reraise on the flop? I agree that you had a nice hand to lead out but it is a drawing hand. Did you think that your reraise was going to drive SB out? What range of hands do you put SB on?

My guess is that he has either A3 or a set of 7s or 9s. I am really a limit player but I think I would call on the flop and see what comes on the turn.

On the turn the 2 gives me a set but may fill up the SB and my draw to the low just got tougher. I think at that point I have to be ready to give up the hand.

Then again I am generally a limit player and so I don't have a real good feel for PL. Maybe one of the experts out there can tell me how I did...
