Villain is unknown so no stats or reads on him.

With how passive these games usually are, I'm planning on folding to a shove. Good/bad?

I don't like it at all. Nobody ever folds trips and you're going to be up against a boat a lot here. In fact, I've found paired boards to be the absolute worst to bluff on since everyone tends to overplay their hands on them.

Its not really a semibluff if you opponent will only fold or shove like he will in this spot. Or slowplay quad threes and just call. This is a pretty standard rebluff from BB because he knows you are FOS on this flop very often.
I agree with folding to a shove because some of your outs are very dirty and you *might* be drawing pretty dead.

I don't really like this play either. You're not getting BB to fold a 3 or better obv. And him c/r you on the flop, its def in his range.

Also raising to 70 with intent to fold if he shoves isn't that smart of a line either. Better hands are shoving and worse hands are folding. Theres really no reason to reraise to 70 imo.
