Re: Pot Odds Question
Without getting into all the math of your question (someone else can explain that better), raising has two things going for it here.
First, you don't want to be in this pot five-handed, if for no other reason than those other players still have some chance to win. Facing a raise and a reraise, chances are those three will fold, and knocking them out eliminates their chances, improving the chance to win for both you and the pre-flop raiser.
Second, you can refine your read on the pre-flop raiser and maybe even knock him out. What if he raised with QJ suited? He might read your reraise here as AJ/KJ or even trip 7s and give up the pot. Even if he doesn't, his call gives you some more info.
