3/6 flop a set, bad turn, bad river

Villain is Pavel55, 23/11. He's definitely a winner at this level but we have a bit of history and he can be pretty spewy just trying to beat me specifically. He also has a habit of sucking out on me. He's capable of making moves.

Any other way to play this?

this sucks
u played it fine imo
maybe bet flop bigger, but it's fine if your normal bet size is 121 and u want to keep it consistent

Re-raise more PF, or call.

Normally I'd say pot the flop, but your PF raise size leaves weird stacks for it.

More than a pot sized reraise not big enough? (it was to 77, convertor misses the blind amount). Or are you saying that 'cause we're deep?

A slightly over pot sized re-raise OOP is not usually enough.

I'd go to more like $90, here.

Even with 100BBs I would recommend re-raising more.

You're not forcing him to fold much of anything, with this raise, so you are just building the pot OOP, and it's gonna be real tough, unless he sucks.

Furthermore, your stack size makes it difficult to get all the chips in, in the event that you want to, with this raise, and will leave very awkward stacks on future streets, almost always.
