What to do when there is no cap...

[Ainex]

I've found since playing cryptos for the first time this month some strange situations come up when I feel perfectly comfortable capping a flop then get 5 bet and shut down. I suppose my question is how many bets do you go with an overpair on the flop? I tend to call the 5 bet then if the board is non-threatening on the turn I raise or call-down depending on read. I suppose the reason I'm even asking this question is that every time I've been 5 bet and followed this course I later found out the guy was a nutjob. What is your experience at cryptos in these situations?

Here's a hand as an example: Only my second round at the table so I haven't seen villain do anything crazy...or anything much at all.

Agreed, Either 3-bet then raise turn, or call 5-bet and call down.

This guy with no read has QQ more than KK or some random Shizz.

When there is no cap, I really don't want to be going a million bets on the flop(or any street) without the nuts or virtual nuts. In your hand, I think calling the 3-bet and raising the turn is your best option. If he 3-bets the turn, I'm calling down after that.
