A good problem to have

Villain is a 42/13 fishy.

Full Tilt Poker
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $2/$4
6 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: $439.90
UTG+1: $1271.40
CO: $673.20
Button: $406
Hero: $439.60
BB: $394

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is SB with T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
2 folds, CO calls, Button calls, Hero calls, BB checks.

Flop: T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] ($16, 4 players)
Hero bets $12, BB folds, CO calls, Button folds.

Turn: 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] ($40, 2 players)
Hero bets $33, CO raises to $75, Hero raises to what?

If I was deeper, or shallower, it seems like an easy decision one way or another. But this stack size is a bit awkward.
I've got a little under $400 behind, and while any real raise seems to commit me, a shove might chase him off some hands I want to call...

So, whats the play?

Anybody think calling is a viable option?

First instinct was to reraise, but now I think call and check call the river.

I like soah's line here given that you're OOP and can extract some xtra funds on a blank rvr. Had you been in position then a raise looks more attractive.

you guys don't think he'll call a minraize / push on riv?

Too many scare cards for me to just call, here.

Just make it like $250 or so, cringe, and call when he pushes, otherwise shove any river, hopefully a blank.

i 3bet this to 225 or so.

id minraise and stick it in no matter what the river card is. he's totally priced out of a draw anyway.

250, don't you think this is scary to a donk? this is why I advocate minraise here.
