Was this bluff ok given his betting line?
My reasoning is that if he 3b AJ pf which is unlikely he will not bet his trips on flp because a fish would check call or check minraise the turn, or starts betting just on turn according to my experience (but from sngs), so given this and his small protection bets probably got pocket 99 or TT.
Is a villain like this capable of folding pocket 3rd pair on boards like this often enough to be this profitable?
