Is this ok HUP?

profman15

Hi guys, 

Last two of a deep stack against a big stack who has applied pressure well on the final table. We'd deliberately not clashed though i'd ai'd a number of times and he had folded whilst we were 3/4 handed. Got the impression he involved himself in a lot of pots simply because of his stack size.

 This is the very FIRST hand of the hup. Can i get away from it  on the flop after the reraise and would i want to? Is my preflop raise too small? I feel it should have been 3xBB but i must admit to wanting him in pot and as it was the first hand a precedent hadn't been set. I didn't feel that the flop was ultra bad and thought top pr would raise though the small nature was a bit odd. I'd seen him do this when we were 3/4 handed but hup with another and it got through a few times yet a couple of times a bluff had been shown when called. probably say that with this stack he was loose aggressive in nature.

PS By the way, to my opponent T...congrats on your win. I thought you played the FT very well. Pity our HUP battle didn't last a bit longer.

I'd probably just ship over his flop bet, but meh we're not folding.

 Just trying to tempt him further as it was the first hand of our Hup.

Exactly your raise looks exactly like "please don't fold!!". Whereas you could shove and have FDs, str8 draws, maybe even some air etc, so he can call wider but you'd never do this raise with draws/bluffs imo
