Calling is the only sensible continue here. Re-raising to 40.7BB turns our showdown value into an unnecessary bluff that folds out worse and isolates against dominating value. **Ranges:** BB's check-raise range is polarized between strong value like sets and two pairs (QT, 77) and semi-bluffs like flush draws and open-enders (98s). Reraising forces folds from the exact bluffs we beat while ensuring only monsters continue. **Math:** Facing the check-raise, we get 2.1:1 pot odds and need 32.2% equity to call. With roughly 45% equity and position, calling is clearly profitable without committing our entire stack. --- > **Takeaway:** When facing a check-raise with mid-pair bluff catchers, call in position to keep their bluffs in play.
Note: 3-betting with second pair isolates us against sets and two-pair holdings while blowing out all of villain's bluffs.
