Hi,
Still very much new to the game but enjoying it a lot. There is not much context to give. I was in my first orbit on this hand and had no reads yet. My reasoning for the reraise after the check raise was that:

1) I am almost sure I am currently beat facing a set or hopefully 2 pair,
2) but I was going to have to at least call the check-raise to see the turn.
3) If I did call and made my hand on the turn I might not get paid off.
4) If I didn't make my hand I would have to make a tough decision on the turn as to whether I was pot committed to call off the rest chips to see the river.
5) I thought there might be some fold equity (representing top set or even over-pair + nut flush draw against botton/middle set or two-pair)
6) Gambol Gambol.

All in all, I still feel like it was a borderline play and would like some input. It seems like this is not an uncommon situtation to be in. If someone could point out flaws in my reasoning or suggest alternative ways to play the hand, I would greatly appreciate it.
