Read SOP. You don't always want to reraise because you are slightly ahead, particularly, HU. Also, the strength of your hand depends on how live your cards are as well as how low.

Yes, I realize that the hand values run close and you should do less reraising than other forms of stud. I don't own SOP. Can you please tell me your general reraising standards?

Thanks,

You need SOP.

Generally reraise loosely if villain is in steal position. Reraise very strong hands (very live wheel cards). Reraise if well ahead of villain. Reraise multiway against some weaker hands.

You need to be aware that reraising tends to tie everyone to the pot, which is one reason you don't always want to do it.

I will sometimes flat call when I suspect I am well ahead and reraise when I may be behind. I do this based on the situation, to confuse my opponent's reads on later streets, and to make my play harder to read in general. You cannot, however, reraise weak hands in razz, because the reraise tends to cause people not to fold.
