I don't think so. A noob raised on the button and had been raising loose. A good player reraised from the SB. Why does the good player have to have a huge hand? The good player knows the noob could have a wide range of hands, why does his reraise need to immediately mean TT-AA, AK or AQ or AJ or AT or KQ or KJ? Why not 77 or 88 or 99? The button has been raising a lot of hands and could just be trying to win the blinds. The SB is good and knows that so his reraising range could be much wider than normal. You know the good SB knows the buttons range could be wide so you know the SBs range is wider than normal so your range of playing against the SBs range should be wider than normal so I would happily call with JJ there and I would also think that JJ was probably the best hand going to the flop too. Too bad you ran into AA this time and flopped the second set. I think most of the time you stack the SBs more-likely AK or AQ or top two and ship his stack to you immediately.
