I think that no matter whether you call or re-raise, you should have a plan in mind for what to do if Count Raven re-raises over the top, a plan for what to do if he just calls and you flop an overpair, a plan for what to do if there's just one overcard and it's not an ace, a plan for what to do if you flop a set.

I just don't like the idea of putting a big part of your stack in the middle with no idea of what you want to do if you end up facing a decision for the rest of your stack which is extremely likely. Re-raising to see what happens seems like one of those "dark tunnel" bets that doesn't have a purpose.

I like making it $28 and shutting down unless you hit your set. I'd expect this player to fold but given your description I don't think he'll be getting out of line.
