My assumption was that H is holding some Ax, but most probably doesnt hit with x second pair. Because of his Cbet OTT I though that he has probably some high kicker like T Q or K meaning Im loosing now. I wanted to put H in the tough spot and therefore I reraise in order to change my cards into bluff - I can easily pretend Im holding some pair like 44, 55 or 99, or I have double pair with Ax. Was that move correct or should I have just layed down OTT? Thanks

I'd rather raise flop than float vs. that sizing.
Trying to get an unknown to fold Ax in a blind battle at $5nl isn't advisable.
