Default Re: finally, i post a hand where my play is *not* weak-tight

I think villain's range for a limp-reraise UTG is quite a bit stronger than you suggest.
Specifically i think the move suggests an overpair which is why the play is no good here. You might see AK.

I don't buy this. Like I mentioned earlier, Villain has done some odd things, like playing mediocre hands strongly at unwarranted times, and playing strong hands slow in bad spots.

When I see a limp-reraise from a player like Villain with a 16xBB stack in what seems like a perfect spot for a squeeze play, I think the range is wider. Maybe I'm much too loose, but I regularly call these limp-reraises (albeit usually with a much stronger hand than 98o) in these small buy-in tournaments, especially from medium to short stacks, and when I do I see mid/low pocket pair or big broadway cards far more often than AA or KK. It's as if they decided to limp and see a flop, then when they get raised figure there hand is too good to fold so they might as well push.
