Default Final table of Stars $30+3 (360 Max)

The check on the flop here is suspicious, as villain is quite aggressive. With the smooth call after I reraise, I though they could have AQ, JJ, TT, 99, etc. I think with AK, AA or KK villain would have shoved PF. Villain does like to see a lot of flops, but is smart, and knows they have crappy position.

Is the PF re-raise the right size? Would it be better to just shove? The reraise is perfectly sized to make it impossible to get away from my hand here, and in my mind forces the flop bet to put villain all in. I can't imagine not betting this flop, but I can't be excited when I get called.

I would appreciate any thoughts on this hand.
