Well, I don't like the preflop call of the re-raise. The steal has now cost you 1/4 your stack, and you were in a healthy position. Now you're here, you should definitely check, just to see what he does next.

In fact, I'm gonna go further than that, I don't like the preflop raise, either. You don't need the 75 chips here at all.. and it's gonna piss off the guy in the BB, who is going to be around for a while, with 2k chips, and he has you covered. I like to "keep him sweet" here and fold my SB so that later on he may respect my raises more, when the blinds are 50/100 and 75/150 say. Don't be desperate to make steals here, in fact, I rarely if at all make steals at the 25/50 level. They're generally not worth it.

Agreed. Has he defended in the past? If not, this is clear fold for me.

You guys may be right, but when someone makes such a bs raise and gives me nice odds to call I like making them pay for it.

Not sure about that last comment of yours...
It feels more like you're paying him off in the long run, than vice-versa.
He's got position, and you're holding absolute crap (for these blinds, at least).
