Villain is 50/4/0.7 with a 20% WTSD over 80 hands, no other history. I might be percieved as tilted becuase I've been coolered twice already but I'm not sure if villain is paying attention to this. FWIW I'm playing about 25/20 but I haven't shown down any weak hands.

Don't really like any of my options here all that much but what's standard and whats optimal and how big difference does 145bb deep make?

reraise, call push and if the bottom card pairs, you've lost.

There are too many draws he could have here. The only hands that have you smoked are 88 and 99, which I think we can rule out pretty easily. If he limped 6-7 on the button, then its just a [censored] set-up but you still have a few outs. I make this $42ish.

Not the most fun spot, but you really can't discount QQ/KK/AA here against this type of player. He shows up with them too often for you to ever get away from your hand. I make it $40 and get all the money in asap.

Thanks for the responses and so far everyone seems to agree that 3bet is the best move. I felt so too but I wasn't sure.

i dont really like getting it in vs. this guy on the flop. i doubt he's getting it in with like...A9 given his passivity. i would call the flop and see what the turn brings, probably checking sometimes donking.
