Default Re: Restealing

I have tried to Resteal several times where a person will smooth call your reraise with a KQ or KJ instead of rerasie.

Say you try to resteal with a 46 and the flop comes 2-4-8. Your not putting your opponent on an 8 and you have become the favorite in the hand.
Ideally your right, you want your opponent to fold. But this is real life that does not always happen.
But here is a situation though where you reraise with say a K-10 and your opponent smooth calls your reraise preflop with KQ.

Flop comes K-3-7

What now? Your resteal attempt has resulted in you going broke. In actuality K-10 is a lot better hand than 6-4. But in this case what hand would you rather have. Once he plays back at you your giong to fold the 6-4. When they play back at you when your holding K-10 here your going broke.

Just my personal preference when restealing I would rather have rags where I know my opponent does not have me dominated just in case I do have to take this steal to the flop.
