    Default This seemed like my toughest hand from 3k hands

    I've moved down a level to really work on my game, as I have plenty of time to play for a week.

    After 3k hands this one is about the only one I really had no clue.
    Villain was 33/0/inf over 12 hands, basically unknown, although not raising a single hand could mean a little bit.
    I guess call, raise and fold are all viable options depending on just a little more hands in or out of his range (i.e. AA/KK). Also if someone says call, please provide a river plan.

    Just go all-in.

    Can't put him on a set and there are worse two pair hands in his range. Looks a lot like a straight, but that depends a lot on game texture.

    Given that he just intentionally small bet/induced your raise and now is popping over it, I would be very surprised if this wasn't 9T a huge amount of the time.

    I'd just dump it, but I like how its played up till his 3-bet.

    Could you elaborate a bit on why you'd shove ISF?

    Fnord; there are as much worse as better 2 pairs in his range, and sets, and T9, and maybe or maybe not something else.

    I folded the hand, but I don't want to advocate it, just trying to see the whole picture. It really doesn't seem like villain is trying to get me to fold. On the other hand, I have to admit I never thought of overpairs at the time and they make a big difference.

    This seems like the tightest range;
    Board: 7h 8h 3c Jc
    Dead:

    equity win tie pots won pots tied
    Hand 0: 18.182% 18.18% 00.00% 112 0.00 { Jd7s }
    Hand 1: 81.818% 81.82% 00.00% 504 0.00 { 88-77, 33, J8s-J7s, T9s, 87s }
    This is with some combo draws in it;
    Board: 7h 8h 3c Jc
    Dead:

    equity win tie pots won pots tied
    Hand 0: 24.858% 24.86% 00.00% 175 0.00 { Jd7s }
    Hand 1: 75.142% 75.14% 00.00% 529 0.00 { 88-77, 33, J8s-J7s, T9s, 87s, 6h5h, 5h4h }}
    This is one is with AA in it (equal to KK+ 50% of the time, or about equal to JJ+ 50% of the time as JJ made a set)
    Board: 7h 8h 3c Jc
    Dead:

    equity win tie pots won pots tied
    Hand 0: 40.393% 40.39% 00.00% 391 0.00 { Jd7s }
    Hand 1: 59.607% 59.61% 00.00% 577 0.00 { AA, 88-77, 33, J8s-J7s, T9s, 87s, 6h5h, 5h4h }

    I think he shows up with a straight almost always here, he has played it in the typical fish style of min bet then min raise, whenever I look up a fish in a spot like this they always have the nuts.
