3/6 Paradise game, sligthly tougher than normal.

sb checks bb bets mp raises I call poster folds button calls sb folds AND BB RRs (he will showdown 7 [img]/forums/images/icons/diamond.gif[/img] 5 [img]/forums/images/icons/diamond.gif[/img] ) 3 of us call. Diamonds don't get there, rest of hand irrelevent to this discussion. After this hand I type "Brillant reraise, player's name". He replies "I'm just playing by the book, you would do better if you did". Now the only reason I typed this or cared about his reply is I think he is a really solid player. I don't harass fish, I like it when they made dumb plays. I usually don't bother solid players, unless I know them and want to kid around a little (I've only played about 400 hands with him, but he is tight and aggressive and this was the first mistake I'd seen him make). I think the re-raise was terrible. I had no problem with the bet, I would have done that in his place. But when it got back to him he should have called IMHO. What can this raise do? He won't get anyone else out. He is down to three opponenets, so he's not getting proper pot odds on our calls. His diamonds are small so they could be easily beaten. The original raiser might reraise giving him terrible implied odds. The pot is now big enough that people should chase with almost anything. In the position he's in he can't get a free card. This looks to me to be a horrible play. You could argue that in my position I should have raised to get people out, perhaps buy the button, perhaps get heads up with the raiser and maybe have an opportunity at a free card. But with a drawing hand I prefered to keep as many people in as possible to help my implied odds. Normally I would not care about this, but I do respect the way this player plays. Who's right?
