MP1: 62/4/1.3 over 60 hands
BB just sat down, no read, no stats (so a casual player).

what to do on the turn? I am not so much worried about MP1.

Full Tilt Poker $0.25/$0.50 No Limit Hold'em - 8 players

Hero (UTG): $53.05
UTG+1: $101.95
MP1: $72.75
MP2: $21.25
CO: $82.90
BTN: $97.50
SB: $96.50
BB: $40.00

Pre Flop: Hero is UTG with Q

Hero raises to $1.75, 1 fold, MP1 calls $1.75, 4 folds, BB calls $1.25

Flop: ($5.50) 3

(3 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $4, MP1 calls $4, BB calls $4

Turn: ($17.50) 9

(3 players)
BB bets $16, Hero ?

its been my experience no one bets trip 9s like that, they LOVE the check raise, ship it and if he has the 9 then keep a note

if I call the turn bet, (MP folds), the pot would be $50, and BB only has $18 left.

good point, didn't recognize the stacks.. we're not folding any river. I'm pretty convinced he's bluffing and want him to bluff again on river so I'd prefer to not shove the turn though.

I actually think that Villian shows up here with a 9x hand so much more than others have decided to give him credit for. My experience is when these type of donks start to get active that they have the hand. I think i fold here and know that i am going to get a better spot soon enough to stack the clown. Patience and he will dump you a stack soon enough

I've only ran into maybe 2-3 players that bet their trips that hard when I was still to act. They love to check raise, that being said if it were me I would bet the 9x first, because of this exact thinking. I see 88 or JJ here often that decides if he bets the 9s you will fold.
