I don't understand his flop action

[poincaraux]

I've only been here a couple of orbits. He's playing a few tables, and seems kinda solid, maybe a little on the tight side. WTF does this on the flop?

If it helps, I've been really active since I got to the table. Lots of raising, lots of c-betting. I folded two hands to large raises and stupidly doubled-up UTG when my overpair was smaller than his. I haven't had any interesting pots vs. MP.

Looks like a made straight or an uberdraw like JQ[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. I don't see a set or overpair playing it like this, and with his raise pf I'd lean towards the uberdraw.

A hand that beats bottom pair, bad kicker.

why don't u understand the action? He bet 3/4 pot.. got raised, and came over the top.. he can most likely beat bottom pair.

He got a combo draw, thats the difference.
I'd still fold because i think he has a str8/set here nearly always.

I'm confused by the size of the bet. On the one hand, I think that a min-re-raise here is really likely to be a hand that he thinks is really strong. On the other hand, why wouldn't he bet more with such a hand?

If he has a straight, set, two pair or overpair, why would he want to give such fantastic odds to all of the draws that are out there?

Edit: we're 200bb deep, so there's plenty of action left.

So his thought process is more like "I got a good hand and the fastest way to raise is to hit the raise button this dummy is going to pay me my monies lol" than "ZOMG wettest flop ever, so many draws, so many odds"?
