10NL Flop Decision

[Sir Pwn A Donk]

Here I had a tough choice. Villian has over 70% VPP, but raises pre over 40% of the time (he raised me a few hands before this UTG with 52) My thinking is as follows:

-he doesn't have a set because he probably would've repopped a pair that high
-AK isn't likely as he would've repopped that
-QJ is a slight possibility (I thought he would check raise if he had that), as is maybe KJ or KT

I had top pair solid kicker, a SD, and backdoor FD. If I'm indeed behind, I have outs. Did I play this right, or should I have just tossed it after the initial reraise?

don't post results, just call flop 3bet.

BB sounds like a big LAG, and, given that, your play in the hand seems fine. Just calling the flop donkbet is an option, I think, but once you raise, you're playing for stacks against this guy. Edit: And, to be honest, it's going to be hard to get away from your hand period unless you have a read that this 70/40 Villain plays postflop a lot more cautiously than preflop.

I just looked at the results, and, by the way, you did have about 40.7 percent equity on the flop with your trips/two pair/gutshot/running pair outs (I know this because I was curious and Stoved it).
