1/2 NL MGM Springfield

Villain is middle age never played w him before don’t have much read he just sat down very recently. I’ve been nitting it up basically. He’s got somewhere around 325/350 to start the hand.

9 handed. Some rando 20s/young 30s seems to potentially loose passive preflop imo from very very limited experience with him of 20-30 minutes (seen him call 3 bets with 67s in Mp bink nut straight and bet me off overpaid on turn one hand) UTG/UTG+1 EP opens fairly large to $15. He’s got 200 ish to start the hand slightly less I think. Villain calls in early/mid position. Another caller in LP and I’m on the button with 22 and chose to call. I’ll often ditch this pre with shallow stacks in this spot without the two calls sandwiched between but I figured that increase my pot odds a bit so I elect to call and gamble. Who knows maybe everybody is sharing high cards and we end up checking down and my pair wins and I don’t have to hit a set.

One of the blinds I believe calls as well so 5 to flop of

952r

Blind checks. Utg bets 25 so I figure he’s probably got an overpair which is great. Villain calls. I honestly don’t remember if the other MP calls or not but I look at UTG stack and count it out to basically exact dollar and raise whatever the exact amount is that would allow UTG to 3 bet all in and re open the betting when it gets back to me so I can restuff in villain if he somehow comes for the ride. My raise was roughly 92 bucks or something strange around there.

Blind folds. UTG tanks a minute says I don’t think you have it and ships. Now villain snap shoves all in on top. Wtf.

It’s about 225-250 more for me to call at this point. I’m pretty confused and can’t see any real semi bluffs possible from anybody here. Very unlikely anybody has two pair. Do people still overplay a slowplayed big pair in this spot? I mean I guess it’s 1/2 and I’ve seen some weird stuff at these stakes.

I’m thinking out loud saying stuff like damn I have a monster; I’m not sure if I’m good enough to fold this hand and originally I wanted action but now this isn’t exactly what I was hoping for type of stuff and villain just kind of shrugs giving impression he doesn’t care whether I call or fold.
