1/3: Getting it in with top pair on paired board 60bb deep? 1/3: Getting it in with top pair on paired board 60bb deep?

1/3, weeknight.

Villain (60yo female Asian, $180, 35/20, F3 0) blind-raises UTG to $10. This is not a live straddle.
Hero ($300) reraises to $24 with Kc Qc.
Everyone folds except Villain who calls.

Flop ($52): Q55r

Villain checks, Hero bets $35, Villain raises to $80

What do you do?

$30-35 pre depending on your position, check back the flop, can't fold with these stack sizes but she has all 5x in her range with your tiny raise pre. Your flop bet is also pretty big on such a dry board.

I'd raise bigger pre. Flop, there are some villains I would checkback against but as a default bet seems fine, I'd go smaller on a dry paired board $20 is fine. Vs the raise we really need reads, shove is overepping our hand and it's hard to get called by worse, seems we are too strong to b/f, so call I guess.

Preflop is probably position dependent / etc. All told, I think we raised too small given that we're creating a very small SPR of 3 where we won't be able to fold postflop with TP and yet gave okish IO of ~13:1 (I prefer giving much worse IO if we're getting ourselves into spots where we can't fold postflop).

As played we're never in love with facing check/raises for commitment but I don't think we can fold especially against someone willing to blind raise (reads tho?). I would just call to keep in bluffs and allow them to continue, probably checking back turn to induce a river bluff / ensure a river shove is more likely to get paid off. ETA: Agree with others regarding smaller on the flop and even a check back isn't horrible if we think that'll induce.

+1 to bigger pre depending on position.

Against someone who is blind raising I’m never going to make exploitative folds unless I have some other information on them, the only question is flat or jam. I would flat, we are in position and can always make sure a bet goes in on the turn if she checks.
