    Default NL 100: overpair facing aggression

    Opp seems semiloose, but neither especially passive or aggro. No good read though. Standard fold or weak tight?

    Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (5 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    SB ($102.20)
    BB ($90.80)
    UTG ($132.65)
    MP ($102.55)
    Hero ($259.35)

    Preflop: Hero is Button with Q, Q. SB posts a blind of $0.50.
    2 folds, Hero raises to $4, 1 fold, BB calls $3.

    Flop: ($8.50) 5, J, 7 (2 players)
    BB checks, Hero bets $6, BB raises to $12, Hero calls $6.

    Turn: ($32.50) 8 (2 players)
    BB bets $20, Hero folds.

    Final Pot: $52.50

    if you had a nitty read then it seems like a good fold, but with semi loose only, I think weak, especially with you making a button raise. He mini c/r the flop - most likely Jx seeing where they're at, or 77/55, maybe even a str8 draw if he's really loose. I think only the stronger hands (AJ/KJ/set most likely) lead the turn strong like that though.

    So I would rather call the turn and fold to a river all in, and maybe consider a value bet if he checks and it's not an A/K.

    Given you raised on the button, I can't see folding here.

    I say weak. Rereraise the flop to get a real idea of where you are at. Calling his minraise doesnt really help you to define his hand.

    Your only behind here to a set, be more agressive on the flop, fold if he pushes after the rereraise.

    Wrong. You are 3-betting this flop for value, not for information. And 3-betting flop and folding to a push is just terrible. Also calling does help to define his hand because you can see what he does on various turn cards.
