You did say something earlier about knowing this guy was solid so its not quite the same.

Here's an almost identical situation, except with a different outcome. I just called him on the flop and turn to get a sense of how strong he was (obviously I was worried about A-A). On the river I was sure I was ahead and put him all-in.
I would only call the reraise on the flop to induce a bluff. When I flop a monster and think the other person will reraise, I love the raise-call. It makes them think they're in control of the hand. Also I dont understand how only calling gives you a sense of how strong he is.
I wanted to see how he acted on the turn and river, after which point it was pretty obvious he didn't have a very strong hand.
