600nl - Awkard Spot

Villain is a reg who's on the loose/passive side. Runs like 18/8/2.

I find it hard to believe he wouldn't bet a good Q here, so his range is probably polarized to draws/boats.

Given that, is it still better to be folding here?

18/8 loose?

I find people who are "passive" not able to semi-bluff draws on paired boards in multi-way pots. My read on a passive player's range almost never includes a draw in these spots.

So his initial check-minraise would scare the shit out of me so I prolly wouldnt 3 bet. :-P

yeah, call the flop c/r. Re-evaluate turn, probably fold to a sizeable bet on a blank

dont ever 3bet the flop if ur considering a fold.

i agree with everyone^ you're bluffing with your trips if you raise/fold
