Hero ?

Pot is currently $38.75, villain has $20.50 behind. Villain is not a fish (assume no 64 here), so clearly he's representing a set here (probably 7's, maybe 3's), (trip 5's seem unlikely, unless he's on A5s). However, JJ, TT, or 99 could also be a possible hand. Are the chances of him overplaying those hands high enough for me to call the turn raise and presumable river bet?

Heh..I know this sounds weird, but what do people think of a min-3 bet here. Pretty likely villain is drawing to 2 outs if he's behind so no reason to protect our hand with a bigger raise. I think you can safely fold if he pushes this now and you'll probably get a free showdown if he calls. This is just something that popped into my head. Could be terrible though dont take my word.

EDIT: Just looked at villain's stack size and he's pretty low so I don't know if folding to a push is the right move. This is a tought spot given the stack sizes..I'm not sure you have enough information to fold and calling or raising pretty much commits you to going all in so I might just push and hope for the best.
