Villains are donks. As far as timing tells are concerned, Seat 3's raises were instantaneous.

Call. You're probably beat tho.

Re: Call or 3-bet river?
 
I don't think you can raise unfortunately. he probably isn't raising with 2 pr.

Re: Call or 3-bet river?
 
Your hand looks about as strong as it actually is, which is an important criterion in deciding whether to call, re-raise or fold. You mention that villain is a donk, but even donks can see your cards.

From villain's perspective, you could have made a straight, but you are likely to have a big two pair at a minimum, so it's a rare villain would raise that range for value less than big trips (and early action suggests villain may have started with AA). A bad value raise is the only action you want to re-raise because a bluff raise won't call and a bigger pat hand is going to cost you money.

Because of the apparent strength of your hand (from the table's perspective) and how closely that corresponds to the actual strength of your hand, you can only call.

Now, if you're convinced villain is crazy or doesn't know what beats what, then do as you please. You don't need anybody's advice on how to play in that situation.

I did indeed just call and villain flipped over aces up. I thought afterwards that if villain is always raising with aces up or better (he's probably only giving me credit for kings and tens here), this might be a 3-bet, since he's a big favorite to have only two pair in that case, and probably won't lay it down for another bet. If I get capped then I have either an incredibly thin call or a fold.

I figured him for Aces up or possibly a flush since most donks will not fold a 3 flush on 3rd for any number of bets.

The other guy was doing the raising on third street, so no, he's not folding there.

I think electrical nailed this one.

If you reraise him, it opens yourself up to be reraised...effectively costing you 2 bets. I don't see how that could be a good play.
