.50/1 home game $20 min $50 max, about 3 and a half hours into the game. The history of the interaction between hero and villain is pretty important to the HH:

Villain: LAG, bought for $30, felted then rebought in the first hour or so. Has shown a few bluffs throughout the night (mostly medium flop bets with air), however has never gone all-in on a bluff or 3bet bluffed. Hero has caught villain in some of these bluffs so villain knows that hero knows villain's tendencies.

Hero: Bought for $30, was up to about $147.50 a few hours in. Has caught villain in bluffs mostly from late position with this line: OOP villain bets flop, hero raises IP and villain folds bluff face-up.

Villain: BB with ~$40
Hero: UTG +1 with ~$100

Hero raises to $4 with Q-Q. Folds around to Villain in BB who calls.
Pot = $8.50

Flop: 10-10-9 rainbow. Villain bets $3, hero raises to $7, villain stops, thinks, looks at my stack, then announces all-in for ~$33.
Pot = $33 + $18.50 = $51.50

What do you do here? Thanks in advance for the advice.

If the history is important to this hand you know you are beat since he never has 3bet shoved as a bluff. However, you play very very shallow stacks so I really can't see myself fold here.

The game is funnier if you play a game where you can afford to play 100bb deep lol.

You are getting almost 2 to 1 odds to call here. The bet wasn't enough for you to fold. You should call this For sure.

If he pushed all in then it's quad 10's or 9's full (as long as you stared him down for a few minutes and could feel his strength), against that range you have little equity and 2-1 isn't nearly enough to call. It's an easy fold.

Unless OP changed the original post, I have no idea what everyone is laughing at. Also, if you're going to comment incompetently and reveal that you're 22 and live at home by being a wiseass instead of actually giving advice, then at least be creative instead of typing "lol live poker". Those of us with brains like our comedy funny.

Fairly interesting hand. Your opponent has a Tx holding here a lot; Tx fits many hands that would call your 4xBB raise preflop. (99 also fits). Unlikely he does this with an underpair, and he likely doesn't have JJ, so he'd either have to have the QJ, J8 or 87 open ended draws, or be spazzing with 9x, for you to be winning.

However, he is short (less than a half stack) and you do have a reasonable amount committed already. Also, he may be light here, thinking that he can get you, the preflop raiser, off big paint etc. If any physical tells seem to be present, go with them, but otherwise seems like a call, albeit a thin one.

Why bother raising if you're going to fold to a shove. Just flat call. By raising, he's either folding or shoving in response. so if you're not willing to call the shove you've made a really -ev decision

Or, he could do what a ton of live players do with a "scared" hand here (one QQ is beating beating but that HE wants to continue with, like 9x or 66 or J7 for the gutter, etc), and call. Villain will be doing this in this spot at least as frequently as he is 3-bet shoving.
