If I had this hand to play all over again, here is how I would do it:

After his checkraise of $3.6, I would mini-reraise $7.2.

I actually hate this play: it's a nasty middle-ground between building a pot and laying a trap. You not only tip your hand (is villain really going to think you're three-betting without a decent hand??) but you still keep the pot small enough that all-in on the river isn't likely without help. I'd say your best choices are either push the turn or call, planning to raise-push his river bet. Which of these two lines is best depends on the opponent: against an aggressive adversary, I'd take the more passive "smooth-call turn, raise-push river" line. Against a passive opponent, I'd just push the turn.

Don't take a middle-of-the-road line; it's likely to backfire on you. Badly.
