Well, sometimes in spots like this I'll just call and try to get it all-in post-flop on safe boards, other times I'll pump in a large 3rd raise. (aka 4-bet)

As far as what I'm putting him on, he isn't a light 3-better, and he's too solid to push that flop with something stupid like AK or other garbage in that scenario. So basically I'm putting him on JJ+. It was just a very weird hand, but I THINK he could make that push with JJ, QQ, KK, or AA. He said he had QQ after some discussion and seemed genuine about it, but then I think about all the times I tell somebody what I had and also sound genuine about it, when I had something completely different.

Against an unknown, I'd call here so fast, but I think I was behind this guy's range, and looking back on it, the decision is probably close either way.

Just curious what your train of thought was. Thanks for any input! I play quite a bit of party nl 100 6 max and was wondering how to deal with reraises with KK. I've flat pushed a few times and had ppl tell me they laid down qq...which sucks because I want them reraising me on a rag flop. So I'm losing value right...the flip side of that is you second guessing yourself thinking they've flopped a set (when they may or may not of) and you make a bad laydown when you could've taken the pot down preflop.
well at 100bb deep, if you raise, and get reraised, pushing right there is usually terrible because it's often such an overbet and QQ/AK can instafold and AA calls. In spots like this, I generally call. Putting in a 3rd raise without pushing is another option (again, depending on the situation), but if you are only doing this with KK/AA, this play becomes so transparent and I find that even the worst opponents are able to get away from hands then.
