I'm really happy about how I played this hand I decided before I made any move how I was going to play it. Dudes preflop raise ranges from that position were really really tight.. and in position he wasn't to happy about stealing blinds so I felt at best It was a coinflip situation.. If not he was not going to pay me when I would three bet it...

I knew because of position that he would have to act before me on the flop... So if the flop would bring me low cards he would change his hand into a bluff by c-betting.. And I was also giving short stacks behind us oppertunity to shove their hands...

So am I onto something here?.... Or should I always re-raise it?

Hi Hlynkinn,

I like the coldcall, but we can also 3bet. Problem with 3betting (which would be a shove, not a raise!) is that we fold out a ton of worse hands that he could just happen to be raising with in this spot.
