Good enough to call a raise? He's advertising either AA/KK or he's a NLHE player trying to buy the pot, or both.

Call a raise and a call with this? Not likely to be dominated, but no flush possibilities.

Doesn't look like a made straight bet, and I've hit a set, time to raise?
So far the players at this level seem to be a lot of NLHE players who forget they have to use two cards or are overaggressive with decent NL hands like two pair. In four tables in three sessions (got bored in the last one and two tabled in spite of the fact I still can't read hands fast enough) I've had three up and one down session. It seems to work if I'm aggressive when I have a hand, but also to call down when I have a marginal hand 'cause they're often overvaluing their hands.

I was looking for any of my cards to pair to make the straight, but instead picked up the nut flush draw. Or, I could be dead to a boat.
