Stars PCA Step 2 -- 4-Handed

[IndyCar Dude]

First off, I haven't posted here in a LONG time, and even then, haven't really participated in game-play discussions much.

With that said, I'm back in the game and really looking to improve with the help of the community here.

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t50 (4 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

Flop: (t1375) 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)

What I've seen of the Button player, he gambled quite a bit. He had no qualms with pushing to bully people out of pots.

I figured his pre-flop raise was a steal attempt, and as such, I put in a re-raise and hoped it was big enough to make him fold. He didn't. Could I have bet more here? Pushed? Or just let it be?

I put in a continuation bet on the flop, and once faced with the raise, wasn't sure what to do. Was my continuation bet too much? Not enough? Looking back, I'm thinking too much...

I didn't want to push after his flop raise because I didn't have enough to move him off a draw, but I didn't want to just call. Of course, I didn't want to fold either as I felt he was just putting a move on me.

What do I do at this point?

If you're not familiar with the steps, top two move on to Step 3 while third and fourth re-do Step 2.
