The Situation: You are playing a full ring $2/$4 NL Hold 'em cash game at your local casino. You've been playing a tight aggressive style and you have only shown down strong hands thus far. You have $250 in front of you and you are first to act. Your opponent is in middle position and has about $250 in chips as well. You have yet to play a pot with him, but your initial read is that he is a smart, experienced player who knows what he's doing.

You look down and find:

You decide to make it $20 to go, which has been the standard pre-flop raise at the table. The action folds around to your opponent in middle position, who re-pops it to $60. Everyone else folds and the action is on you.

At this point you put your opponent on AK, AA, KK, JJ or maybe 10 10 or 99. Your general sense is that he is trying to end the hand right now, and that he would have raised less if he held AA or KK.

You decide to just call and the flop comes:

Clearly not the flop you wanted to see. There is now about $120 in the pot and you both have $190 left.

You decide to check, and your opponent bets $60, half the pot.

What do you do?

a) fold
b) call
c) re-raise all in
