JJ facing some serious action.

Ultimate Bet No-Limit Hold'em, $.10 BB (10 handed) converter

BB ($10)
UTG ($8.70)
UTG+1 ($3.55)
UTG+2 ($7.09)
MP1 ($10)
MP2 ($3.70)
MP3 ($6.40)
CO ($2.50)
Hero ($9.30)
SB ($4.80)

Preflop: Hero is Button with J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. CO posts a blind of $0.10.
UTG raises to $0.3, 1 fold, UTG+2 calls $0.30, MP1 calls $0.30, 2 folds, CO (poster) calls $0.20, Hero raises to $0.8, 1 fold, BB calls $0.70, UTG calls $0.50, UTG+2 calls $0.50, MP1 calls $0.50, CO calls $0.50.

I was planning to raise, but with a small raise and 3 callers in front of me, I decide to re-raise, hopefully thinning the field a little and getting some dead money in the pot. Unfortunately, it didn't work out too well. Was my re-raise too small? What is a good amount here?

Flop: ($4.85) 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (6 players)
BB checks, UTG checks, UTG+2 bets $0.25, MP1 folds, CO raises to $1.70(all-in), Hero folds, BB folds, UTG folds, UTG+2 calls.

Good flop for me, but given the preflop action it is likely that there is another overpair out. So, my plan is to re-raise and maybe take the pot right there. Unfortunately, CO represents a serious hand. With the original PFR behind me still, I don't want to get too heavily involved in case he C/R. So, I fold.

Final Pot: $5.10

Routine?

He could (and should, at this point) be pushing with a small flush draw. Raise more PF and then push here.

If I am the original raiser PF or if the PFR has folded, I make this play. But I felt that I was behind to CO and/or UTG often enough for this fold to be correct.

either call preflop or reraise more preflop

The cutoff is representing a serious hand be going all in for $1.70 into a pot over $5? Hes a short stack moron who will push that small stack in with Q7.

You shouldve flat called or reraised quite a bit more preflop and you wouldnt be in this predicament, but Im still not folding. I pushing all in.
