[X] Great advice

[X] Questionable advice

Reraising pre-flop can get him into the same trouble here - it's easy to say "raise it up" when you see villian's cards, but we don't really know what he's holding here.  Even someone who raises every hand can pick up a monster on occasion, and reraising plays right into that.  Even if we do catch something on the flop, unless it hits us perfectly it's still going to be hard to play.

I have no problem with seeing a flop, but it's going to be hard to catch something that leaves you feeling safe.  If these were suited they would be much easier to play.  As posted, playing it slowly is your best bet, since you will probably be getting away from it soon.

I'm a big fan of playing for small pots heads-up (especially with the blinds so small), so when they get lucky it doesn't cripple you on one hand.  There is also some value in folding this pre-flop.  You don't need to play every hand heads-up (though you want to play most of them).  Folding on occasion sends the message that you aren't playing any 2 cards, and when you do call, you will have something.  That should serve to slow down (at least a little) all but the most insane opponents.
