I'd pick a better spot. No reason to depreciate his holding when his M=30. He likes his hand and you're drawing to 2 outs. I'm insta-muck here.

This is a pretty read specific spot. Against some guys I'd probably lay it down, against others I'd call. You're getting the right price against a range of TT+ and AK, so it's not like this is an easy fold. Plus, people get crazy with some fairly weak hands in these blind battles. On balance I think it's probably a call, but it's probably fairly close. If you add either AQ or 88 to villains range it becomes a trivially easy call.

Reads would be really good here but barring reads I think his range is wide enough that you have to call with the odds youre getting. Also, for the future, you should know what you are going to do if he reraises before you reraise him.

I would call the 400 preflop instead of raise. If you hit a set or see all unders, you are golden. If not you can release cheap.

As played, fold. (But not easy as stated)
