You need to make a decision when you are reraised at the flop. You _can_ put him on AK? (Which he most likely has) a set of 3's or 4's. Your OOP w/a dangerous hand... I'm a bit conservative, so I fold on the flop to aggression.

You can always find another hand when you have the edge.

GRUNCH:

Against a more active opponent like the one you're playing. I would definitely play it the same preflop and on the flop.

However, I'd be more inclined to take a check-call method on the turn.

His flop raise was relatively weak, so we might be ahead enough here to go ahead and call a smallish river bet, so I'm thinking check-call on the river as well.
