I put myself in a difficult situation

[rannerboy]

You're right I'm behind most reasonable hands, with reasonable being the keyword. The thing is I think he might have interpreted me as weak from the way I played the hand.

If he saw my preflop raise as a steal attempt, he could have reraised me with a broad range of hands. When I just called his reraise (after some thought) he might have taken that as weakness as well.

He thinks I'm weak and bets out big on the flop. I just call again. If he had decided I was on a steal to begin with he probably thought I wasn't very strong here.

When the turn card brings the flush, he probably believes this is another scare card to me, which it is of course. So his last all-in bet can be a last attempt to take down the pot.

I get 2:1 odds on a call. Will I be ahead to KK/AQ/AJ/KQ, a random bluff, or a semibluff with the ace of diamonds? That was what I was considering when making my decision. A very tough decision I think...

I think its important to ask yourself if you've seen him reraise preflop before...and what did he have at that time?

[rannerboy]

He didn't have position in this hand. And no, I had no accurate reads on his game, except for the the LAG label I had on him.

then..in the interest of saving myself money, I usually assume that a reraise, OOP (i edited my last post, sorry), usually means a PP or AK.

Going by that guideline, you're dominated...and I usually use that guideline until villain shows me otherwise.

[rannerboy]

Saving myself money would be nice! :-)

I think your guideline is correct most of the time but I would like to add some hands like AQ/AJ and maybe even AT/KQ/KJ since he may very well put me on a steal attempt.

And a PP lower than TT is also possible, trying to push me off a scary board.

I can't think of many people who reraise AJ, AT, KQ, KJ or 99-66 OOP...I understand that he's LAG, but like I said, unless he shows me otherwise that he can reraise preflop with those hands, I won't put him on those hands. Doing so is just giving you an excuse to call in situations you possibly shouldn't.

I see people reraising a "blind stealer" from the BB with weak hands a lot, even worse hands than the ones mentioned. But as you said, maybe I would need some proof that he's capable of this kind of move.
