This is my first hand post and from the way I played it you will see that I need to post and get help more often.
The villain seemed good but was relatively new to the table so no real reads. After this hand (and a few more orbits) I got the impression that he is a rather good thinking player. The reraise preflop made me think big pp (JJ/QQ/AA) or maybe AKs.
The c-r gave me fits...
How would you play this? Any help would be appreciated
(Oh and my raise to 3.5 was a bit of a mistake. Meant to make it 5)
