Villain running 19/10/4 over 100 hands. Haven't really tangled with him before. I feel like a fold is nitty here, but it seems like I have to make my decision here, as I'm most likely facing a river bet. Thoughts?

Fold. Very unlikely you're good here. You only beat 97 suited.

What can Villain have here that you beat? He has a boat or a better 9. Either way you are done.

I've been developing a case of seeing monsters just making sure I'm not making nitty folds.

Trips with weak kickers are the number one killer in noobs. Drop it like its hot.
