Playing a 2/5 spread limit game with a good mix of players. Sat down and won 3/4 hands using being the aggressor and showing down the best hands. About 3 rotations in I get QQ udg.

Hero(280$) (QQ) udg raise 5x.
Villain (430$) cutoff calls.
Hu. Flop Jh 7c 5c.
Hero leads 35 into 50 minus rake.
Villain reraises to 135.
Hero ?

How bad am I looking against a flop reraise?

Depends on your villain. Stack sizes force you to fold or shove. I would favor shove here since most will have a decent number of draws in their range, but there are villains tight enough I puke/fold.

To further go into QuadJ's response, this is only a difficult decision because you don't have/didn't tell us anything about the villain. If the villain is in his 60's, has been limp folding for the last hour and you've never seen him raise yet, it is an easy fold. If the villain is steaming because a bad beat two hands ago and complaining that everyone sucks out on him, it is a snap call. After an hour, you should know a lot about this player. If you don't, you have a huge leak in your game and are going to face a lot of difficult decisions. I'd work on that right away.

To get started, you need to construct in your mind a "generic" villain or villains based on age/sex. Then just note if the act differently than the generic villain. If they don't, just label them as a standard villain. If they do, develop how you modify your play to beat them.

Admittedly, this requires work both on and off the table. If you're texting people continually when not in a hand, you're going to be spend a lot of time with difficult decisions. Once you've done that, you develop a plan for each hand you're in, so that you know how you'll react to every call or raise.

Hard to analyze hand without a read on villain...

Default plan when playing shortstacked poker is shoving here though. If villain is extreme nit then folding.
