Preflop raising war ... don't like how I played it.

[GlemZurg]

It pains me to post this play. But since I've never been in a preflop raising war before I'd like some expert advice.

So many players in this NL game will raise and reraise with AK or sometimes middle pairs.

Didn't have a read on this player. I'm thinking I should have been become cautious when he reraised the exact size of the pot (in blue below).

Can someone help me figure out how to balance getting the most into the pot without getting into trouble in a situation like this?

All advice appreciated.

Thanks,
Justin
