Final Pot: 10.50 BB

I re-raise preflop to try and get heads up vs the raiser, hoping for a raggy flop where I could push him off the hand. I felt it was either a fold/raise on the flop, but a raise felt better. Was it right?

What legitimate raising hands do you beat? KQ?

If SB will alter raising standards based on the # of limpers, then I like the postflop a bit more. As it stands, SB could be check/calling with any ace or a better pocket pair, and you're sunk. Definitely don't make this postflop play against a passive player.
