Here's the thing, and part of why I ****ing hate min 3-bets from villains who I don't have much experience playing with. The villain in question, whether or not he is very good at poker, is obviously very intelligent, is well put together, and is comfortable at the table. He either thinks that I, myself, will think it's bigger than it is and will fold, or he is afraid if he makes a bigger raise I and the other will fold.
They way it played out, I didn't think it through, snap-called the raise, folded K high flop to his c-bet. I agree with whoever said it was a "tearful fold". I hate folding here, but in general I'll have to spend some time thinking about the different reasons different kinds of villains will make a min 3bet preflop. I should have just asked him after the hand what he had lol, though he didn't seem the type to give away the info for free.
