[Benholio]

I really hate it when that happens. Since villain was the PFR, the re-raise helps me put him on KK or AA and fold the hand. He could easily be doing this with some sort of pair/flush draw/2pair/set type of hand, but you are only ahead of a few of those anyway. Fold and be pissed off is what I'd do.

Would you play the flop the same?

[Benholio]

I think I would have probably played it exactly the same. I usually lead out when I flop TPTK, but you are in a perfect spot for a c/r, with where you are in relation to the pre-flop raiser, etc. His bet also looked like it could have easily been AK, JJ, TT, etc. Like he was forced to bet but he wasn't trying to protect anything.
