i would probably just call preflop, and if u did reraise like that i think you sorta have to bet the flop

as played i think calling and folding are pretty much equally bad so mb u should just cut your losses and muck it

without a better read id usually just call pf. but reraising cant be too bad.
i guess i would lead this flop and call a shove then. c/f here feels strange...

the guy raised two limpers from earliesh position, he's shown a tendency to limp rather than raise, so we are probably behind his range. Reraising is just setting ourselves up to get owned when he has a bigger pair. Calling gives us a chance to hit a set against his bigger pairs and we can invest a bet postflop (the same money we spent reraising) to find out if we're good on rag flops.

The title references the situation of an overcard flopping. I think calling pf is just fine, but don't fully understand why you think it is "really bad." At the very worst, it's towards the bottom end of my range here.
