I did this because I figured he would push if he has AK or a set here. ok?

Don't re-minraise, it doesn't give you any info. You have to either shove or fold here IMO, you'd have approximately a pot size reraise left and I don't think you're good against a range that minraises you after flat calling you preflop. I'd look for a better spot to get allin against him.

You need to bet more on the flop in order to define and the villain's hand. A smaller bet makes it easier for the villain to reraise you. Try to bet something like the pot here as if you bet 3.25 and the MP3 calls, it gives better odds to the SB and UTG+1 to call. Without reads, this could be tough. I don't think your hand is strong enough to reraise on the flop. I would call the flop and see what happens on the turn. He could be on a draw and be wanting to get you to fold on the flop or get a free card on the turn with his minraise. Ax of diamonds is a very strong possibility. If you think you have him beat, try to get to showdown cheaply.

In looking back at the stacks, if he calls your $10.50, you are only left with a PSB. If he calls your $10.50, he is probably going to call your push on the turn as you don't have much left behind. So, now I think the decision is definitely to call his reraise and check the turn. You might have to fold to a turn bet as he will likely put you all in.

bet full pot on flop then we dont have as hard of a decision when he min raises us. im gonna stack off 2nd hand AQ with top pair on this board to an unknown. im only folding this hand with reads at this level
