Overvaluing dead cards in razz?
 

4 handed 2/4 razz (HORSE table)

I have (86)2 with my opponents showing a 8, 6, and 2. I'm first after the bringin and complete. The next player (2+2 mod, he knows who I am, its not Andy) reraises with the 6. Given the cards that are out I decided to reraise. Good/bad/meh??? I should mention I've stolen quite a few of his bringins up to this point (mostly last to act with a baby showing)

I think it's fine but you aren't going to make it easy for yourself to fold, which I like to do with an 8 down. I'd be more likely to make this raise in a big ante game, so if it was Full Tilt I definitely like it. IIRC Stars ante is pretty small, I'd still raise coming in but probably just call the reraise and be ready to just get out when things get bad. It's not that equity wise your hand isn't fine, it's that it's easy to make FTOP mistakes with an 8 down.
