5CD - trip queens, heavy action

Preflop raise? Why? For me easy fold after raise

Well, if SB has been raising most hands recently, then he could have almost any 2-pr. BB must have AA to cold-call a 3-bet (even that's dodgy).

Postdraw, SB bets his 2pr for value against yours and BB's starting pairs. BB has caught and raises - could be Aces up or could be trip Aces, more likely the former.

As much as I would hate calling 2 bets with a maniac still to act behind me, I think that's what you have to do. You're good against a big chunk of SB and BB's range. And you fold to the whipsaw, obviously.

The only situation I'm not sure of is if SB 3bets, and BB calls. I guess pot odds would compel a call, but it would feel like a crying call.

BB will show you AAA/KKK very often here.

If you know him to be solid, he's not calling 3-bets predraw without AA/KK, and it sure looks like he improved. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
IMO, he is SOMETIMES raising AA-up here, and ALWAYS raising AAA.

Lets say BB has notated SB as one who 1draws trips, or who semibluffs flush draws, etc. I can see him just flat calling postdraw with AA-up, and try to let you overcall (you draw 3 too!) With AAA though... he'd definitely raise.

I dont think i'd really fold in a game though...I'd call here for 4:1. the SB should be dead money, and QQQ beats so many hands, all but AAA/KKK and freak boats. WAY too much chance you misread a guy and they are just lunatic spewing. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] Call, hope SB tosses in a call too. Expect showdown 7755 vs AAA vs QQQ.

I think he has 1 of 4 hands. Aces up, Kings up or trip aces or kings.
so it's $2 to win a $10 pot. You have to be right just 1-4 times. I call....

4 handed. Seems like a standard raise?

I would just call the last bet.
