    I don't see a set leading here, unless he's a donk. Just doesn't make sense to fear the flush heads up. He has 88-99 or a flush draw himself more often then not. Either call and give him a chance to fire again, or fire yourself right now.

    I put him on TT-AA, AKs, maybe a lower pair or set... although I think <99 usually just flat calls after the limper. I guess by re-raising PF, you are commiting to play for stacks on this flop.

    i dont play at this level so...

    probably a good chance its a probe/feeler bet. you RR his bet so he figures you for premium hands like JJ+,AQ+ (trying to get unpaired cards to fold for cheaper than a c/r). maybe he would c/r a set so he can gain an extra bet from you with unpaired cards.

    regardless tho if you want to play your playing for your stack. i think id shove instead of call. if he has a PP maybe he puts you on draw more often than a higher PP or vice versa. i think shoving is better than calling since turn cards could kill action.
    Jman: every time the action is to you, it's an opportunity for you to make the perfect play.

    Agreed.

    Assuming the average player at 100NL, I'd say he could have 88+, with a slim chance at AA/KK. AcKc is a definately possibility. I like a hefty raise, as a fold is out of the question, and calling, as said above, could kill action depending on the turn card.
    If I had a hammer
    I'd drop in the morning
    I'd drop in the evening..

    I agree that his range is likely AA-99, with AA/KK discounted because of no 3-bet pre-flop. So I'm wondering, does any hand that I beat (JJ-99) call a push here? My image at the table is aggressive, but not out of control.
