I bought in for the minimum $200 and won a small pot and am now at about $250. There is a lady sitting next to me with about $400. A few hands prior to this one she raised and then called a large reraise w/77. In the game you can post a straddle from anywhere on the table with the button having first option. This particular hand there is a straddle and I have AKo in middle position and simply call the $10. The lady then makes it $40 to go one caller back to me and I call. Should I have raised first or after the raise should I reraise. The flop came K 8 8. The first player checked and I moved in. After the hand I realized that I should have check-raised the lady all-in. But I was afraid she wouldn't bet. Any suggestions on how I should have played the hand?
