    I didn't because the early position raiser could easily have a big pair or AQ, which I want a reraise from. But should I just call one bet and hope they fire a double barrel. I'm trying to work on my chip accumulation abilities, which is why I'm asking for advice on this pretty standard hand.

    its early, just call his bet, hope he hits two pair, stack the chips. Call to river then reraise his river bet and hope he calls. No flush draw makes this a more +ev thing to do. ... Watch that nw star dude. He is a lucksack. He just started playing my regular games recently but is doing well.
