I got in a couple similar spots to this hand over the past weekend. I think my hand is face up as an overpair and I am facing a Laggy player who I think could be bluffing. Feels like a game of chicken and I am not really sure how far to push my overpair. Any advice on how to handle these situations in general (I know, “it depends…”) or the one described below is much appreciated.
V in CO ($300) young kid. Playing LAG as far as I can tell. Table opened up 30-45 mins ago and he has been very active. Don’t think I have seen him bluff at this point in time, but based on his betting frequency he has to have some bluffs or at least semi bluffs in his range. Has recently gii pf with AA and lost to AK. Reloaded right after
Hero in BB ($300) young kid. Have not played any hands of note so far and V has noticed this, he was even joking about it. So must be viewed as tight. Question is whether V views me as weak-tight
Otth…
Hero dealt Q

in BB
1 limp to V in CO who raises to $10. Folds to Hero in BB who 3bets to $30. Folds back to V who quickly calls.
Flop ($63) 7

Hero bets out $40. V raises to $100. Hero?
Like I was describing above, I think it’s pretty clear I have an overpair (ok, maybe I have AK, but not really continuing unless its AhKh). And this board hits V’s range much more so than mine cuz I can see him calling pf with 99,TT and possibly 88 and 77 as well. Also he could have something like AKhh, AQhh, etc.
Against a set I am way behind. But can I really give up that easily with an overpair to a bluffer? And if I do call, can I fold later or am I committed after calling flop?
