    not worth it in my opinion, best case scenario he has AK, AQ, AJ. worst case he has any PP which you are a slight underdog to, KK or AA. I would find a better spot to go all in

    48/6 actually. And the 6 is what got me... and the deep stacks.

    I agree with your assessment of the 6. Like the others have said, I would pick a better spot.

    Why don't you call the reraise preflop and play the flop?

    As played, you're building a huge preflop pot, OOP with an unmade hand, vs someone who you know is capable of bluffing.

    I guess the obvious answer is "I think I get villain off his hand" but how often will that happen here?

    as it is, I don't gamble preflop with such deep money.

    There's way too many hands he could raise with to make a rere-raise viable. Absolute best case scenario he also has AK, but generally speaking you're looking at QQ-AA. I think this is an easy call pre flop after his raise and look to hit on the flop before you commit too much of your stack. AK is a beautiful hand, but on an ugly flop it's nothing more than A high.

    One thing I also like about a flat call here is that it disguises your hand to an extent, and if you hit, than a check call/raise is much more profitable than a bet/fold on the flop if he just calls pre flop.
