I dont see any reason you shouldnt reraise 2.5x-3x

Re: $16 PS Awkward spot or no-brainer?
 

I'm not really sure what's awkward? I would just re-raise

Then what? He reraises all-in... ? He calls, A or K on flop, fold? Overpair flop, push? I'm not sure it is awkward, it just seemed that way to me because of the number of players left and the stack sizes. If you reraise now, you're about committed.

he calls 3bet-&gt;A on flop i'd prolly fold.
if an K flop it really depends on reads.
if the flop gives us an overpair i go broke and call an ai pf for sure.
anyway, if he is a good regular, we might just fold to an 4bet ai pf?
guess we are ahead like never.

Seems like most assume he'll always call preflop. I expect him to fold a lot of hands that would be a favorite after an A- or K-high flop. That's why I raise.

Re: $16 PS Awkward spot or no-brainer?
 

Re-raise and look to get AI if he sucks and from the looks of it, it seems like he does. Call or fold if he is good.

Re: $16 PS Awkward spot or no-brainer?
 

it's a 16 not a 119. re-raise to 400 and call a push.

Find out how he got all those chips. Than 3/bet/call a shove or call.
