I think your straight is good here enough to try to make it to showdown. Villain could have adx, a set, or two pair. If he has the flush, you're screwed but you know this.

I'm confused. Over 1/2 the deck is a scare card that I'll have to dodge on the turn and the river (assuming I'm not already behind).

If he has adx or a set, your reraise is not enough to make him fold.

If he calls my re-raise, he's paying $9 to win $24, which is worse than 3:1. If he has A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]X or a set, he's worse than 3:1 dog to improve on the turn, so i don't mind if he calls as I'm giving him the wrong price.

And so if you are going to reraise, I think you have to reraise a lot more.

At this point in the hand, I've invested just under 1/3 of my stack and given him incorrect odds to call on his likely hands I'm ahead of. If you suggest a higher re-raise, how much more can I put in without being committed to showdown?

Let me know if I've got some flawed logic here...
