$1-$2 NLHE live in Atlantic City.

Reads: Villain playing weak tight approx 1 hour. I'm playing medium aggresive. Frequent $100 - $200 pots. Not chopping blinds, previously agreed upon.

Villain (SB) (~$180)
Hero (BB) (~$250)
UTG (~$80)
MP (~$700)
MP (~$80)
CO (~$250)
BTN ($150)

Preflop: Hero is dealt 3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
5 folds, SB raises to $7, BB calls $7.

Flop ($14): 3 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] k [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] SB checks, Hero bets $10, SB calls $10.

Turn ($34): 5 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] SB checks, Hero bets $40, SB calls $40.

River ($114): J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] SB bets (all-in) $123.

Hero?

BDF unlikely. If you lose, it's to a higher set. I'd call.

Any info what he's calling flop bets with?

call this all day long. i will expect KJo here a lot. if you lost, its just very bad luck because the way the hand played out and villains donkbet you cant fold

You really can't fold here. The play is bizarre, but at a 1-2 NL game in AC, you are good here a lot more often than you might expect.

I called, he flips over A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] and tells me to protect my hand better. I told him I didn't really care to win a $14 pot with a flopped set. Maybe slightly bigger flop bet to cut down on his implied odds?

"Protect my hand" meaning "Protect my pot", but that's obvious, eh?
