We'll get into the rest of the hand a little later, but obviously, the reraise is interesting.

First of all, Berge, what kind of read do you have on the initial raiser? Is reraising a strong enough play here? What were your reasons behind the reraise?

I like this fine, although this is about the only time I'd RR 22-88. The button raise could mean anything and 6 6 isn't exactly the hand you want to play OOP too often in a HU pot. Also, you can't really play for set value as button won't have a strong enough hand often enough.

This is what happens when i post one of my sessions...I already pulled the good stuff!
