So I am playing 25nl and it is weekend. This guy just sat down, so now stats or reads.

1: What the hell does villain have here? I really don't have a clue.

2: Should I call here? I lean towards folding because I don't think I will ever be a big favourite here and may already be crushed.

Looks like either a strangely played overpair or AK/Q spades or maybe even AT spades or worse at this level. But against even this range, I think it is a fold.

I'm not sure your reraise preflop is a good idea without a read because too often it will get called and you will have overcards on the flop. My thinking is that people aren't very aggressive in the small blind at these stakes so when you see a raise like this you may well be up against one of the few more aggressive players, either that or it's a tight player with a good hand, both of which will call your reraise alot of the time. I think TT would be the lowest pair I'd do this with, unless I had the specific read that they were aggressive in the SB raising a wide range but able to fold when someone showed strength.
