First off, I've been lurking for a week or so now, and this is my first post. I've been ingesting all of the information I can from FTR, and it's been delicious.

Now, my dilemma. Looking back on this hand, I feel like the correct thing to do would have been to fold after he re-raised post flop. Table is playing loose. Villain showed to be LAG in the past, and the out-of-character instant post-flop raise sent off the bluff signal.

Was calling the re-raise the correct thing to do?
