Villain is kind of your standard minraising 25$ NL donkey. Reasonably loose, minraises with crap and calls big reraises preflop. Called my big PF raise with 62s. Is my hand any good after he 3 bets flop? What's my line for the rest of the hand?

SB ($47.51)

call and push his bet on any turn. If you are behind you have outs (some). He could easily have 88 or JJ here or something else rubbishy.

IMO most villains will take this line with good hands only, but if this villain is not very good he could easily think AA/KK is good. I'm seeing a showdown, and not pleased but not too worried about putting my whole stack in.

my guess is that he has an overpair and plays it slow. your trips are almost always good imo. i would call and make a big bet/raise on the turn.

Thanks guys for the post. Anyways, I pushed, and Villain had 44 and instacalled. This is an awfully tough hand to get away from heads up, but maybe I could've at least slown down a little after he 3 bet the flop.

Swings are part of the business, I suppose.
