Seems like a very strange bet by BB if he in fact has trips or full boat. (On both the turn and river)

On the river it's a bet you can't really call with nearly your entire hand range.

On the turn he's nearly giving you drawing odds for a 2 outer, but you need to make a decision there.

His bet was so small you could call with the intention of folding unless you spiked a Queen, but generally if you call the turn he's putting the rest (or a hefty bet) on the river...

I think it was a good laydown though, not much on that board for Villain to lead into PFR and call a raise. (And subsequently bluff on the river)

Looking at it now I probably have should a bigger raise in on the flop to have a better idea on where I stand.

What about some kind of raise on the turn...would that help protect me from him stealing the pot, maybe a minraise too?

Just some thoughts...
