How to maximize this?

$5/$10 NL 6 max

I raise to $35 with [6s]

[5s]. Button reraises to $105. $1150 effective stacks. I call.

Pot $225. Flop [2c]

[3c][4s]. How do you play it to maximize against an obvious range of AA-JJ or AK?

1) Lead 1/2 pot and so he will raise a big pair and might call with AK
2) Check / call and make my move on the turn? This gets a CB out of AK but doesn build a pot as quickly as I want to against big pair (plus flush might hit)
3) CRAI
4) Other

I also think if you check-raise to $400-$600ish or whatever, depending on how much he bets, you oughta take his stack just about every time he has QQ+.

So apparently there is another play besides leading for $185?

I think a strong check-raise is terrific here, then push the turn. I also like a lead of most of the pot. Either way should work fine.

No way I check/call because all of the clubs are scare cards, plus any 5 could scare off anybody with JJ-KK -- not to mention overcards scaring off JJ-KK.

OK, so Im probaby stacking AA / KK, so it doesnt matter how I play against those hands.

Lets say we KNOW he has JJ or AK....how do you play it now?

Shobute, why fold to the reraise? Its $70 to me with a $155 pot and we have $1000 or so more dehind.
