Default Re: [25nl] tough push/fold decision

It appears that the main question is whether it was correct to re-raise on the flop, right? And if so, what is the correct amount to re-raise to? Your opponent re-re-raised to $20 making it $8.5 to call with just under $34 in the pot. You have only $12.75 left, so by re-raising to $11.5 you have committed yourself.

What did you put your opponent on when het raised to $3 on the flop? I think he may have 66, T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], any QJ, and maybe AQ, JJ, QQ or KT.

If you decide to re-raise, you commit yourself to the pot as I argued earlier, so you might as well go all-in when re-raising. After such a re-raise your opponent has to call $21.25 with $29.60 in the pot. He would call with 66, QQ, JJ, T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], and QJ. He would not call with AQ or KT.

I think you would only be called with hands against which you are either a slight favourite, a slight underdog or a huge underdog. Therefore, a call to his raise to $3 would be advisable. If a small non-club comes on the turn, you can be aggressive again.
