Villian is an 18/3 over 33 hands. I've never seen him re-raise preflop before.

Just dump this hand to the raise, or call and re-evaluate?

That's a tricky one. I'm not sure I'd bet that flop.
If my opponent reraises me at that level, it's almost always JJ-AA, or AK. Usually without some read, if I get reraised and I don't think they are restealing then I call with set value with JJ-QQ and get the money in with KK &amp; AA.

I check/fold or bet/fold the flop.

Definitely a tough one. Go with your read/gut and either fold or push. I don't like calling here at all.

What ever happened to the good old fashioned call??? Is it dead? lol

Call or push - but don't fold...

Normally the min raise is the monster but he did it preflop too.... Good cahnce he's just tapping the raise button.

Many more details would help here as well.

Has he been losing? You have more than him so that implies he might be sinking and playing aggressive/weak likea tilter. Your best chance for more chips is really the good old call...

I think this is a pretty clear fold. You're not ahead near enough to continue.

FWIW, I'd play it exactly the same.

Calling gives you no information about what villian has. It doesn't get you any closer to winning the hand, either. IMO it's push or fold.
