 the guy called a re-raise to 17xbb in late position. given preflop play, there are 3 options: 
 
#1. he has you solidly dominated w/ aa, puts you on a large pp & wants to milk you on the flop (kk would re-raise here b/c there's two people in the pot) 
 
#2. he has ak & really wants to see a flop  
 
#3. he has a middle-pair in the 77-jj range & is putting both you & the initial raiser on shared high cards (ak/aq) & commits to pushing on both of you if there are no scare cards (a/k/q) on the flop. 
 
post-flop play: 
 
#1. stops making much sense b/c he pushes on you... if he really cold-called preflop b/c he knows he's dominating your pp w/ aces, why wouldn't he cold-call again to extract maximum value out of his domination? he's not really worried about the spades since he's already put you on a pp... 
 
#2. he can't really be pushing on you here unless he has ak of spades, in which case @ worst he's a flip to anything except aa/kk or flopped trips. definitely a possibility i'd consider. 
 
#3. well, thats exactly what he told himself he would do after the flop; so he's doing it... you bet less than 2/3s of the pot, so you're not showing much strength, so why wouldn't he think his pair is ahead vs. your overs? 
 
i'd probably put him on #3 & give the man action unless i had him pegged for a tight/solid player.
