Jam it. Your raise the first time through on the flop put enough in the pot that a fold is likely -EV, and a call will commit you no matter what, but may let the opponent off the hook if you catch str on the turn.

Once you've raised you must call/all-in. Maybe a call on flop is better and try to get a few more people into the pot. You probably wont win that much when you hit but it will cause lesser swings to your bankroll.

I would have just called on the flop, but given your first raise you are commited and should jam it.

Hope it worked out for ya.

Dont re-raise here. His bet will indicate KKK a lot of the time. Just flat call, and get away from it if the board pairs on the turn. You do realize that you've set your fate in stone when you re-raise this flop? Think about it, how often does a player bet the pot on the flop, and fold to a single re-raise? Secondly, his most likely move will be a push or a re-pot when you do this. Unless he's bluffing, and, with this kind of a board,I doubt he would do that. As played, push'em all in and hope it gets there.

What'd you put him on when playing the hand? If he's playing a set I ran a small range of hands involving the top set. You can easily be far behind if he has top set and a low draw better than yours (or if he's suited with any low draw). Still assuming the set, you're only going to be even if he has a worse low draw and isn't suited or has no low draw at all.

If you put him on something other than a set... you're probably ahead but it's still near coin flip territory.
