Flopped nuts, deep stacked, facing resistence....

[MXRider]

Villain has been quite loose passive so far playing a 42/11/4 style over 180 hands or so. 150bb effective stacks in play here and I want it all, how's the best way to get it.

Hero raises to $0.85, 1 fold, CO calls $0.85, Button calls $0.85, 2 folds.

Flop: ($2.90) , , (3 players)
Hero bets $2.25, CO folds, Button raises to $5.5, Hero????

I'd 3-bet the flop to $15 and shove the turn.

I agree with Damo. The reason to reraise here is simply because you are OOP and the alternative, calling, works a bit bad here.

vs some people who will never check behind on the turn with a draw, which is like any 1/2 regular it seems, calling here is fine, but vs most people, the risk is too high to get the turn checked through.

If you call here, leading out on the turn may not work as planned and looks strong, and may fold out draws. If you check turn, villain may check behind.

So raise here and hope he gets it in with a hand like AT/set/two pair/9T etc. Also, the hands that would fold to a 3bet here are probably the same hands you can't really extract value from on the turn should you just call, and tons of scarecards could arrive for villain to shut down.

I don't play a lot of cash, but I'd often try for the check-raise all-in on the turn. It seems to me that your line is going to look a lot like a draw if you just call the raise and he might well try to fire the turn to get you off your hand if you let him. You do have some risk that he checks behind and then folds the river, but if he has a hand that is going to do that, he probably won't call the flop raise either.

What types of hands can villain be raising with here?

He most likely has 2 over-cards and tried to steal. In that case, any bets would make him fold. Only real way to get chips would be to check, and re-raise if he bets out.

Great flop in so many ways.

It's hard to see villain having a hand that might fold to a another raise. Another good thing is that we are representing an overpair only so villain is unlikely to get suspicious. It's nice to flop the nuts too off course.

I want to re-raise again as I don't want a scare card falling on the turn and killing the action; like say a 6. How much to bet then?

Villain may have a pair and a draw, a set, or two pair here so it's hard to see a fold after a re-raise. I think I'm going to make it $15 here. If villain calls then all the money is likely to go in by the river.
