Playing 3 handed, the BB is a loose aggressive player who thinks he's better than he is.5/10p blinds, i've got £10 behind and i'm the shortstack playing 3 handed.I'm in the SB with JJ, the button folds, i raise to .30, the BB raises .60 more, i raise back £1.50, he insta shoves all in, i fold.Ok, maybe not the most interestin hand in the world, but my question is, should i re-re-raise here or just call? My thought process was that i have to find out where i am so i don't stack off if the flop comes all low cards and he bets big, once he pushes i think it's a standard fold, but with it being blind on blind is re-re-raising the right move?Second hand:I'm on the button with KK, i raise to .3 and get one caller from the SB. I check dark and the flop comes 798 rainbow. The SB bets .60, What do i do? The SB can be a tricky player who isn't afraid to raise with air, though i think he's less inclined to make plays on me because i don't bluff very often.

1st hand. I have no idea what a minraise means preflop, people seem to do it with all types of cards so I think you should raise him again to narrow his range.2nd hand. You have to raise here, he could have anything and you probably have the best hand.

Hand 1 - Against a laggy player b v b I will get it in with JJ here, you are rarely behind.Hand 2 - Raise - you must raise this flop as his most likely holdings are pair+straight draw type hands.

Hand 2- How in the world are you checking dark from the button? That makes no sense...

I was the SB sorry.Not exactly sure why i checked dark, guess i just wanted to see what would happen if i did.

I just don't like the move unless you are extremely skilled at post flop play and reading people.
