Was playing a heads-up match with a friend and the second hand went like this:

blinds 25-50

Hero 5500(SB) : KQo
raise to 150
Villain 4500 (BB): ??
reraise to 450


What should I do here? He has been doing quite aggressive as of late and I didn't think he'd had much; he'd probably slow play a monster. He would surely do a continuation bet if I folded, and I'd miss most of the time so calling to hit my hand is a losing move. I could call then try rereaising on the flop but if that didn't work I'd be crippled. I could move all-in but that is risky, or I could reraise to like 2800 chips and then push any flop, which was the move I decided to do. Any ideas?

actually a call is pretty good here, you have position and if he tries for a cbet OOP, you can alway raise him. if he checks and you don't want to cbet, you get a free card.
By what you've said it's relatively unlikely that he has a great hand, so seeing a flop here isn't a mistake. Remember HU KQo is a pretty big hand and it plays very well postflop.

yeah i think calling is fine. you have position and are deep enough to make this call.. but it sorta depends on how confident you are against this player, having a good read on the guy is important, and if your competant and confident in playing postflop. without this, then you should probably opt to let it go.
