Reraise or Fold
Hey guys, would be grateful of any comments on what i should be doing or how this should have been played.
Iv'e played this guy some months ago, but not seen him for a while. So i know he's quite a solid player. I had only been on the table for about 30 mins and my first hand i managed to take this guy out. Following a reload and some tooing and froing of small pots the wasnt much else going on.
I put in a min raise pre flop, as there; still three players to act . Hit the set on the flop , so check hoping for someone else to raise so i can reraise. I get the what i'm looking for and reraise the pot which gets called.
On the turn comes a 7, I put in bet the size of the pot, to which i get reraised. At this time i've convinced my self he's not hit the straight but thinking he's either on a pair of jacks or at most 2 pair.
What should i do next ?

Bet the flop.
As played, I stack off on the turn. 56 is a possibility, but even then we have redraws to the fh. Hands like AJ/KJ might play it the same way, and if he's loose he may have hit some sort of weird 2 pair.
If based on your reads you think his range is limited to 2 pair at best then why are you even considering folding?
If you think he's got a pair of Jacks or 2 pair at most then you think you are ahead so you need to get as much money in as possible - reraise.
As suggested i could'nt see any other option but reraise all in, which i did. Deffo think i should have put more in on the flop to try and rep the jack or higher, but i was trying to trap him rather than take the pot down there and then.
