I could not have played this worse if I tried

Villian is tight passive 17% VPIP in 62 hands he's won an amazing 100% of showdowns. (7% Went to SD)

Bisons converter doesn't seem to work on Cryptos? So I'll fake it...

Ok normally I don't play this especially in EP, but the table was playing very tight and I felt like seeing a flop.

Soooo, besides the obvious, folding preflop...

I think I should have pushed on the flop reraise. I have to be favored against anything villian reasonably has here. Do you agree?

Definetly. I'd give thought to open pushing as well. I'll look for the thread I started that discussed it.

Edit- here's the link (http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showthreaded.php?Cat=&Number=2018917&page=&view=&s b=5&o=)

Yes, push the flop. Your many outs + fold equity make it a high EV play. Your a 53% favorite against something like KQ with a spade.

Definitely reraise all-in. You want to get all the money in on the flop when you have a huge draw, since the turn could easily kill your action (flush hits), bust you (flush hits and he had A/images/graemlins/spade.gifQ/images/graemlins/spade.gif), or force you to call with bad odds (rag hits). Stack sizes are great here for pushing after his checkraise; with deeper stacks, you may have to play it a bit differently, but here it's an easy move.
