Raising after an all in

No. It is too small of a raise. Since the original raise was a raise of 1200 (1600-400=1200) the raise by the big blind would have to be at least an additional 1200 (i.e. 2800 total) to re-open the ac …

Should I call all-in here with bottom set?

I tend to raise this spot preflop but if the guys behind you and in the blinds are passive limping behind can be ok. The flop raise is a tad big, but standard, and yes, call the shove. His shove is …
