Default Looking for another line.

I had been playing fairly tight this session, rarely raising on 3rd street without a strong holding. I think given how I'd been playing, my 3-bet against a Q up basically announces K-K or A-A. I thought about smooth calling his reraise, calling on 4th, then raising him from 5th on unless he hit an open pair. Anyone have advice on another way of playing this?

7 Card Stud High ($5/$10), Ante $0.50, Bring-In $2 (converter)

3rd Street - (0.60 SB)

Default Re: Looking for another line.

Re-raising right away is fine, but slow playing is probably better. If you decide to slow play though, you should consider waiting till 6th street to raise (unless you think there’s some chance he’ll fold to a raise on 5th, but I can’t really see that).
Or, since you caught a scary-looking card on 4th, you could have raised right there (if you had slow played that is). Then you can raise again if you rag off and he leads again on 5th or maybe take it down right there if you catch another heart (hearts are somewhat dead, but he doesn’t have to be paying attention, does he).
