****what do you do here?
in general how do you deal with the min reraise-preflop. obviously, you're getting tremendous pot odds, but if you need a miracle to win the hand, what do pot odds matter? on the other hand, folding every time to a min reraise looks pretty weak and invites people to step on you.

let the bashing begin; i suspect it will be plentiful. i'll try and justify my play later.

I'd fold the reraise. But if your opponent is always going to play that horribly weak postflop, I'd call.

He probably didn't realise his predicament until after the flop. Good players realise the situation preflop and that reraise is going to be a very solid hand, AA or KK a good percentage of the time.

I'd checkraise the flop, but calling is OK too. Folding is right out.
