    Default Turned trips in blind battle vs. bad player - deepish

    Villain is 29/7/2 over 250 hands, isn't very good, likes to call my raises oop and I've been very active pre-flop.

    Some recent history... I paid him ~50bb with QQ when he turned a str8 with suited gappers, flat called my turn bet and valuebet river, which I called with all undercards on the board. Very next hand, before I could top off my stack, I raised with A4s, he check-raised an AQx flop, I pushed for the rest of my 50bb stack, he showed Q9 no draw and spiked a 9 on the turn. I doubled up a few orbits later by overbet pushing a rivered backdoor flush vs. a decent tagg and getting called by a rivered straight.

    Obviously I'm not folding the river. Question is call or raise, and if raise, how much? Villain has ~$150 behind...

    i'm not sure if the hand with A4 means much, after all, you may seem tilting, so he could call a little wider (especially since you're short now).

    the weak bet on the river means 3 things:
    a) he's got an overpair
    b) he's got a T with crappy kicker
    c) he's bluffing

    i think (b) is the most likely option. i call, since our kicker isn't all that great either.

    This guy doesn't know how to fold

    Putting him on 2 broadways here is really silly.

    hmmm, wtf. our kicker isn't even being used!

    ok, now i'm leaning on raising.

    yea again if he is terrible u can definitely raise- the only thing im throwing out there is that against any half sane player ur only getting called by better.

    It's blind vs blind, hence I think calling ranges are a little wider than usual.

    I doubt this guy cares about BvB.
