It appears that the main question is whether it was correct to re-raise on the flop, right? And if so, what is the correct amount to re-raise to? Your opponent re-re-raised to $20 making it $8.5 to call with just under $34 in the pot. You have only $12.75 left, so by re-raising to $11.5 you have committed yourself.

What did you put your opponent on when het raised to $3 on the flop? I think he may have 66, T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], any QJ, and maybe AQ, JJ, QQ or KT.

If you decide to re-raise, you commit yourself to the pot as I argued earlier, so you might as well go all-in when re-raising. After such a re-raise your opponent has to call $21.25 with $29.60 in the pot. He would call with 66, QQ, JJ, T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], and QJ. He would not call with AQ or KT.

I think you would only be called with hands against which you are either a slight favourite, a slight underdog or a huge underdog. Therefore, a call to his raise to $3 would be advisable. If a small non-club comes on the turn, you can be aggressive again.

[Chargers In 07]

Against a range of QJ/66 you have 27.9% equity. To profitably push here you need 23.5% equity. Easy push.

That is to decide how to act on the re-re-raise to $20, right? But was the re-raise to $11.5 correct in your opinion, Chargers In 07?

[Chargers In 07]

Reraise or call and c/r the turn on a blank is fine to, I'm not folding.

[CesareBorgia]

So you're not sure whether or not you would make the re-raise to $11.5, right?
