Ok, on this hand I kind of wish I'd have paused a bit when villain shoved to explain my reasoning behind the loose preflop call with 76.

Reads: Villain is decent albeit somewhat tight. Villain does not raise preflop all that much and suddenly has 3-bet me two hands in a row, also making a smaller than standard re-raise:

In my mind in this hand, a good part of the reason I called is not due to my hand's strength (although in position my hand gets a lot stronger). This is the second hand I've 3-bet in a row. I'm also not going to wait for strong hands to raise my button, and it seems that folding two hands in a row like this invites villain to 3-bet me rather light preflop, which is also part of what I thought was happening already. Of course, villain had a big hand but I can't know this.

Flop call wasn't that hard for me. The only hands I don't want to see are a set (which is not shoving here), 88 (which might play this hand like this), or two overs + FD (actually probably his most likely holding, although I didn't mention this pf). I can't think of any other hand that I'm in bad shape against that 3-bets preflop. Against two overs + fd (Say AhKh) I'm not a big dog at all here although I am somewhat behind, and against an overpair I have 13 outs and it's basically a race. Of course, a lot of times you see total crap here like AK no draw.
