Im on the button and straddle to 5 in 1/2 game with about $150 behind. Small and big blinds fold, middle position mucks a little high and I see a king. Folds around to cut off who calls. I look down at k7off and check.
Flop comes KJ7 rainbow. Villain checks, I bet 11 he makes it 22, i make it 60. he shoves for 150.

Do I call this?

The only time I re-raise the c/r is to get it all in ASAP. I'd need a good read from the villain for me to give absolutely no credit to his c/r. With no other reads I think slow played Jacks.

Don't straddle.

You should probably announce to the table/dealer that you think you saw a K folded.

I'd raise preflop since there's only one limper and we'll be in position, so hopefully raising takes it down now or with a cbet on the flop. Did you have any sorta plan when you straddled?

Any reads on Villain? In the end, we're in a straddled pot with effective stacks at 30bbs and we've got two pair where most sets seem unlikely due to blockers / preflop action. In reality, it certainly looks like a cooler vs KJ/77, but I don't think I can fold here.

any reads on V? would he stack off lite with QT?

seems like a big K would raise pre, but KJ and 77 are well in his range

i would prob just call the flop raise and reeval turn, but with 150 behind at the start and your 3bet to 60, you sort of committed yourself

Too short to fold. Don't straddle when you're already shallow. That's stupid. I see guys with $60 stacks straddle all the time. Blows my mind.
