Hi Hiatus,

This is a pretty interesting hand. The pre-flop raise seems huge to me--I wonder if that colored the reaction from Stan?

If this took place at my table at this stage, the caller in the BB (Stan in this case) would've had a big pair for sure. He probably would also put the raiser on a very good hand, and thus be trapping. So, I wouldn't fear a flush draw at all (well, maybe just a little), and would definitely just call the check-raise with top set, hoping to get him for most of his chips if a harmless-looking card came off on the turn. If you re-raise the flop, you only get paid by AA (maybe) and a set, which will usually pay you off no matter what. This possibility of Stan getting trapped with an overpair is all set up by the large open-raise.
