Default What did I tell you about cold calling my reraises?

This is the fourth orbit of an EPT satellite. CO is pretty LAGGY and we've had a few minor squabbles. BB also seems a bit LAGGY (22/18 so far, at an 8-handed table) but has played pretty well in every hand he's been involved in.

When I reraised, BB called REALLY quickly. It almost seemed like it could have been an accident, as though he were intending to call the raise and didn't notice my reraise until it was too late. He also acted pretty quickly on the flop.

Well, I'm pretty sure you are still WA here, so just push and expect to get called by KJ, QJ, TT sometimes, and of course, QQ+ and any 6.

I don't why a push would be good here. If he's mincheckraising light, it's to give himself room to fold.

My knee-jerk is with RichC. BB could assume you are restealing from a laggy CO. I am trying to ignore your timing tell (accident) as there was still a fold in between and BB is still cold calling 2 raises and the most likely piece he hit was TPGK or PP 77-TT.

you should never have played this hand with a reraise. Just call or fold. I think folding is your best option before the flop. if your going to potsize bet after the flop its as a defensive bet to find out if your hand is good or not. a better bet would've been about half the pot as a continuation bet or maybe a probe bet of about 100. but in your sutuation its a deffinate fold to me.

also i think your decision has to be made here on the flop. calling to see a turn is bad, either we are calling all the way down or we should fold now.

Call down. You'll see AA or KK here a lot but you'll also see worse Js or a bluff too.
