Villain 40/20ish small sample, I don't think he's any good. He had a blind steal of 100% hence the 3 bet.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $1.00 BB (5 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

Button ($110.25)
SB ($114.40)
Hero ($108.55)
UTG ($111.40)
MP ($115.10)

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q, K.
2 folds, Button raises to $3, 1 fold, Hero raises to $10, Button calls $7.

Flop: ($20.50) K, 9, 5 (2 players)
Hero bets $15, Button raises to $30, Hero raises to $98.55

another way of playing it actually is ... since villain kinda polaizes his range by minraising, what u could do is flat call then check call the rest of the streets ... which really wouldnt be that ideal if u didnt have Kc in your hand. if you had Ac it's super ideal but either way is fine.

i like it. he could shut down with another club on the board, and i wouldnt be thrilled if a 3rd club hit.

Standard. Slowplaying is an option, but I don't like it in a 3bet pot OOP almost never. I would need some strong reads for that.
The secret to success in poker is to rig the odds in your favor.

I think that calling the flop minraise and checking the turn to him is a better line to maximize your expected value. Most of his range is way behind or way ahead.

why are you scared of a club? It would give you a draw to the second nuts and he likely does not have a flush draw, also he probably understands that 2 clubs is a tiny part of your range in this spot too.

when i wrote that i wasnt thinking about it being a 3bet pot. as small stakes i see so many donks minraising NFD's that it always crosses my mind in these situations. But i agree, its not a big part of his range at all here.

I was definitely thinking about calling and c/rai on turn which I think is better in general if at no point am I thinking about folding.
