Villian is 30/9. Ive seen him bluff at 3 pots in the last 10 minutes and get called down just to flip over A high , a gut shot draw, and a flush draw.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (8 handed) Poker Stars Converter

UTG ($5.65)
UTG+1 ($5.60)
Hero ($10.45)
MP2 ($6.60)
CO ($9.90)
Button ($9.35)
SB ($13.70)
BB ($1)

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with Jc, Ah.
2 folds, Hero raises to $0.4, 3 folds, SB calls $0.35, BB calls $0.30.

Flop: ($1.20) Js, 6s, 7s (3 players)
SB checks, BB checks, Hero bets $1.25, SB raises to $3, BB folds, Hero ???

Just to lay a little ground work, I have no problem laying down TPTK, I do it several times a session, espically since Im usally playing 8+ tables. I feel like I made the correct play, and was very confused when I got reraised. What should I have down here?

Call and fold to a decent turn bet (> 1/2 pot). Otherwise, try to showdown cheap. Some of these minraisers do it just because they think you're bluffing ALL THE TIME, so pay attention to what he flips over when he pulls shit like this.
My sig is too much for you to handle.

Look at it from his point of view. You raised pre-flop; now you're "stabbing." While I'm not sure what the best play is on this street (call / raise x?), I'm pretty sure it's not folding. TPTK is a solid hand and he's just minraising.

I guess I'd call and then analyze his (inevitible) turn bet. Does it reek of bluff or monster (2 pair / set / flush) ?

Scenario #1 - If I call, and the turn pairs the board, or is a spade, am I folding to any bet over 1/4 pot?

Scenario #2 - If the turn and river are blank cards, am I getting my money in here everytime?

Scenario #3 - Is shoving after his raise that bad of an idea?

Share your opinions on that, and Ill tell you what I actually did, and why I thought it was the best idea, and then you can prove me wrong.
