Default Turned Trips but the Other Guy Keeps Betting

Reads are crucial in this hand, so don't just skim the following paragraphs. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

The table in general ain't so great, and is playing pretty tight and aggressive (although you can't tell from this hand). I'm doing what I do too often--sticking it out for a few more orbits after getting stuck early (chasing losses--I am teh suck). MP2 (the villain) is 16/9/5 over a 100 hand sample; I don't have any notes on him, which means he hasn't done anything unusual over that span. UTG+1 is a solid TAG from several hundred hands; if he's limping from EP on this table, he's either got a medium pocket pair or suited paint. The other players don't matter in this hand, although SB being the lone donk at the table (65/7 over ~50 hands) factored into my decision to limp behind preflop.

Two hands prior I had 3-bet an MP3 openraise from the button with KJs, and been capped by the SB. Both of us called, and SB led at an AJX flop, MP3 folded, I called, called his bet when I turned trip jacks, and only raised after spiking quads on the river (he made a pretty bad crying call with KK). I mention that hand because it was undoubtedly still fresh in the minds of everyone at the table, and is obviously the opposite strategy from what I used here.

Call or raise? And if we're 3-bet after raising?
