Hero bets $10, BB raises to $30, Hero ??

obv we are almost always ahead.... but I think 3-betting the flop will get a fold out of anything < KQ. If we have an aggro image, I shove here or at least re-raise. If not, then I think just call and check to him on the turn, looking to check/raise probably (depends on turn card, TJK I would probably just call).

In general, I would be looking to trap for a medium sized pot since I expect him to have a middle pair or TPNK most of the time and he is going to be cautious.

i definetely call the flop.
On the turn i probably take some weird line like weak lead or c/c and then lead out river.

I really think we should play for stacks here but i think this guy is bluffing more than we're used to seeing soince its a blind battle.

He's not defending the blind, he's trying to take advantage of our likely wide range BvB to steal our raise and cbet.

I agree with ISF, do some weird stuff. I like to call flop, c/c turn and fake block the river. If turn checks through I lead river pretty strongly to get a call from Qx, mid PP.
