is my re raise to big? I am wanting a caller and dont want to scare them off, Is that a good r raise? or bit to much?

i prob flat.  no fds there and if they are both calling then they likely have each others cards so little chance of FH.  I'd expect XX/YY to both raise more if they had a set so they likely have JT/QJ kinda holdings.  i think its ok to flat and with your stack size compared to the size of the pot before you flop 3bet its quite an easy 1.50/2 bet turn/AI river IMO.

DOHHHHHHH

If you're playing against people who understand betting patterns, you probably haven't raised enough.

Either flat, or shove.

i guess the raise is weird as i have only left my self with a small amount. I should of stopped and thought what to do. i just went to half pot or some thing, cant remember i should of looked st stack size befor i bet.

I'm with Dohhhhhhh on this. Fairly pointless raise, unless the guy you're doing it against is blind. You scream strength with your raise and a stack behind that you aren't going to be folding with so much commited. Shove or call depending on villians play style here for me.

Lastly, this is the reason  you should buyin for full amounts as well. You flop the world and seem to have someone with a strong hand against you. Prime double up spot if you got a full stack. I know some people like short stacking, but really never heard an overly good reason for doing it.

I always buy in full, unfortunatly i lost a hand befor this one, and i dint rebuy in time. But if there willing to re raise and then call a re raise, then its showing they have strength too, So why not practically put it in now so i have most of the money in befor turn/river. then im just shoving turn,
why is it better to see the river? Surly shoving looks just as strong as my stright. And even if i do show strength, they could have 2 pair and still call, or even trips, im assuming by the re raise and the call they have hit that flop ok. so i was pretty sure i would get a call.
