Default BB trying to push me...

** Firestarter [Hold 'em] (1.00|2.00 Fixed Limit - Cash Game) Real Money

- BB sitting in seat 1 with $25.88
<font color="red"> - Hero(UTG) sitting in seat 2 with $51.25</font>
- MP sitting in seat 3 with $63.50
- Button sitting in seat 4 with $38.12 [Dealer]
- BLANK sitting in seat 5 with $60.00 [Sitting out]
- SB sitting in seat 6 with $28.25

SB posted the small blind - $0.50
BB posted the big blind - $1.00

** Dealing card to ItalianFX: 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
<font color="red"> Hero(UTG) raised - $2.00 </font>
MP folded
Button folded
SB folded
BB called - $2.00

** Dealing the flop: 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
BB checked
<font color="red"> Hero(UTG) bet - $1.00 </font>
BB raised - $2.00
<font color="red"> Hero(UTG) raised - $3.00 </font>
BB raised - $4.00
<font color="red"> Hero(UTG) called - $4.00 </font>
Am I wrong for reraising?

** Dealing the turn: 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
BB bet - $2.00
<font color="red"> Hero(UTG) called - $2.00 </font>
Given my hand, should I have still raised?
I wasn't sure what to do here so I called with the intention of betting the river.

** Dealing the river: K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
BB checked
<font color="red"> Hero(UTG) bet - $2.00 </font>
BB called - $2.00

This is a dumb question: Can someone tell me how many SB and BB there are at each street?

Wow. Perfectly played. Nice hand.

Open raising 55 from the Hijack is close, but I do it. Easy flop 3-bet with your overpair, and open ended straight draw. Don't raise the turn, he has shown a ton of strength, and your 55 may not be good. Call planning on raising the river if you improve. On the river he checks, which means he was probably pumping with either a draw plus a pair, or an overplayed Ax. Nice value bet, as he will have to call with his probably call with his weak hand. I'm guessing he had A4.

You're right... that is a dumb question. If you haven't learned to count bets in the pot, then you should do this right now.

It's fine, IMO. I don't understand you're question though

Pre-flop 55 raise is a bit questionable. After that, I think you played it just fine. Villain's river check makes me think a) he missed his draw, b) his 4's are not good anymore, or c) he's very tricky. I'm very much leaning towards a&amp;b as most likely, making this an easy river value bet.

I just fold preflop, raise with 77 or higher.

Fine with how you played it.

I used to open down to 66 but since reading that MP opening standards pop quiz where over half of people open with 55 in that spot I thought I'd give it a shot. Probably close either way and I'd ditch it if I thought the lineup was pretty bad for it.

I don't like enough flops with 55.
