My 3betting was for his big attempt to steal range, so I don't doubt that it was a bad play.

However, I really don't know what to think of villains min-raise here. Fold or call? And if I call how do I plan to play it the rest of the way down?

3bet - I doubt it was a bad play*

Anyways, anyone have any ideas on this? How would you play it? Should this be a fold since I'm going to be playing this hand OOP for the next two streets (if it even gets that far)? I don't know how much pressure I can take if he puts in another big bet on the turn.

I think this is a fold. We don't really beat anything he called your raise preflop with. Very doubtful he has a 10, as A 10 and K10 prolly fold preflop and 10 10 slowplays this flop. My guess is he has an overpair (JJ or QQ). I suppose he could have something like 77, but overpairs to me are much more likely.

I think this is a fold too. No question he may be trying to push you around AND it is a good flop for 99, but i'd lean him holding an overpair or trips.
