    Totally depends on who youre up against.

    Its probably a fold against tight players. Its definatly a fold against loose passives and its a reraise against loose aggressives.

    Most of the guys at those stakes are either loose passives or loose aggressvies so its either a call or a fold .
    I probably call against an unknown and expect to see a J, but this guy has a big stack so he might know what hes doing.

    Your opponent likely has QT and wants a free card or has Jx, if he's real frisky he has 88 or less. I'd also reraise this flop to $3 though. But really lots of cards can come off that will make you feel uncomfortable about your hand and being OOP doesn't help. Well played I say.

    I didn't see you only had $4.42 to bet with on the flop, so this is definatly an AI here.
