Now if the board were Q72r he might have a set almost all the time here, but this board is so drawheavy, that it is entirely possible that he's on a draw. I don't fold the flop here.

Posssible options are: reraise to about 4.50-5.00 (although i guess you would then have to call his shove which i don't like), or call Flop and lead any turn that doesn't complete a draw.

I am 3 betting. There is no reason to think he has a set here. Think about ranges, not specific hands. I am not getting away here, unless I really know this guy. As an aside, think about raising more PF.

0.40 preflop. Then get it all-in asap.

The only hands i beat here are one pair hands though (I folded). Will they stack off with a pair here enough to make it worth it?

[Panthro]

keep felting.

He can have a Q, he can have a flush draw, he can have middle pair and think you're c-betting with air. Who says he's going to stack off? A reraise by you telling him you have a real hand may take the pot down. Against an unknown you need to 3 bet this.

Raise more preflop. Reraise it to 6 on the flop.

Raise more preflop and get the money in on this flop. Poker is not looking good if 10nl players are turning up sets here a lot [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

The good news is that there is nothing to suggest you are up against a set, and two pair is even unlikelier. Thus, you are probably against a worse pair, or a draw. The bad news is that whatever decision you make now, you must commit to a plan.

Your options here are a reraise of ~4, which commits you to grudgingly call a shove, or to call and lead a safe turn. Since you are way ahead of his range, and you will likely get called by worse pairs, and you benefit whether draws call incorrectly or fold, I advocate reraising.

With a better read on your opponent, or higher limits, You might be able to get away with folding to a shove because it's very unlikely to be a bluff, but at 10NL, I would commit to going AI if I 3bet.

Another option would be to call and check-raise or check call the turn, but I do not like these options because we are more likely to give a free card than sucker him/her in with a second place hand.
