Live Action NL Poker single 2$ blind 100 max buy.

This is my 3rd hand at table, my 2nd hand I flopped a set of 5s and busted out another player who had top pair. First hand I had AJ and folded unimproved on the turn to a large bet.

I have 154 in chips.

I'm CO w/ 8 /images/graemlins/club.gif 8 /images/graemlins/heart.gif. UTG calls, couple folds, MP calls, MP2 Calls, folds, I call, others fold, blind checks.

(10$)
Flop 3 /images/graemlins/spade.gif 4 /images/graemlins/spade.gif 5 /images/graemlins/heart.gif

Checked to me, I bet 10$, Fold to MP2 who Raises to 20$.

Folded to me.... Action's on me...

Villain has about 50$ in chips at start of hand.

maybe reraise to 25 to make sure he is not raising on a draw, if he has a set, he'll let you know then but the draw probly folds

Minimum re-raise would be to 30$. At this point he is pot committed though, and a re-raise means he is all-in.

A read would be nice, but I haven't seen him play a hand.

His raise here likely means he has a piece of this flop, might have A5, A2, 45, 56, a set or a pocket pair 77 - TT.

I have two choices, push or fold?

push...he doesn't have that much more. Plus if you call, he's most likely going to put it in on the turn anyways...
