Playing 9 handed have around £110, have been playing a fairly solid game aggressive game won around 5 pots and none of them have went to showdown.

There has been a straddle to £2 and i am in the BB with Ad Jh. The straddler is the tale fish so far and has been bleeding chips in general

The guy off the button raises to £5 preflop, he has me covered with about £130.

 i have played with him before in a lot of smaller tournaments and is an aggressive player who could be raising any pair A8+ etc here.

I flat call, so does the straddler.

Flop comes  4d 5d 7d

We both check and the original raiser bets £15, I raise him to £40, he tanks for a while then calls, the turn is a

 Th

I move all in on the turn for around £60 odds the guy takes ages to call then finally does with  Ahrt Ac.

Basically i am posting this cause i have been thinking about it a lost the last few days and a lot of the guys at the table gave us a lot of abuse for the way i played the hand and said it was a terrible play etc.

how do you guys play the hand? I think if the stacks were a little bit deeper i could play it a lot different and that the c/r on the flop gets him to fold a lot of mid pair hands like TT,JJ and could get him to call with worst hands like Kd Qh.

Even If i get the money in on the flop against QQ/KK here i am never in that bad shape here?

Apologies for rambling! Would like to hear you guys thoughts on it.

Reraise preflop?

this but without the question mark

Nearly got in first with a good answer...  :)

hey,
      do u not think its better flatting as the guy that straddled was one of the weaker players and i knew he was calling with ATC if i called.

What would you guys do on the flop? How would you play it? Interested to hear?
