I'm button playing c £220 - it's been straddled to £4 by a guy who I've only seen once before this point - he played pretty loose and got punished for it often in that session.
Two folds and a raise to £16 from two to my right. Capable player, usually a winner. Has a rep for being pretty ABC but recent evidence shows he's more than willing to mix it up and widen his range for opening raises and for aggression postflop. He's playing less than a full stack after I hero-called his turn shove with top pair on a 7 high board and faded his flush outs.

I have  Ac Tc and based on the thought that the raiser is raising light because of the straddle I repop to £41.

Folded to the straddler who jams for £72 total
Orig raiser re-jams for another £14  over that - £86 total and now I'm not at all sure he's raised quite so light

so, back to me...

Eurgh on the repop to 41.

But now you have to put in 45 to win a potential 210ish, I'd be calling now because of the size of the pot, not because I liked my hand.

Are they on tilt due to your "hero" call on the previous hand?

Do you want to risk all almost half roll on the hope to hit on flop, or are you going to re load of you lose?

you have to sigh call this now

You cannot possibly fold this hand now.

Getting a great price against pretty much any hand.

Fold pre - or flat call the raise?

Based upon the action I'd foresee someone jamming pre and I'd probably fold but if your willing to call/fold 16 then its maybe worth calling with the button.

With their stacks I massively prefer the fold pre, call is never really an option imo, they don't have anywhere enough behind to make it a valuable play. If you flat and 3 of you go to the flop a lot of flops will be jammed. Unless they are putting in 1/4 of their stacks with the intention of letting it go without a fight, in which case they are tez. 

Obv as you played it clearly you have to call them off in this spot with how the hand was played.

IMO, its always good to have a plan of action to possible outcomes once you raise etc in order to avoid furture spots like this.

easiest call you'll make in your live now.

dont hate raise call, dont hate fold.

would prolly prefer a fold but its all fine imo

Firstly, it is now a very easy call.

Secondly, I don't really understand your thinking regarding the straddle.  Why would the ABC player to your right raise the straddle light if his perception of the straddler was the same as yours ie. he is loose and bad.  Surely with that perception he is more likely to be opening a solid range for value.  On that basis I don't love the reraise.  Now I would guess that you might be in decent shape versus the straddler but are behind the original raiser but you have odds to call and the betting is closed so easy call.
