    Default Nasty turn action after flopping trips

    This is a live game so forgive the shitty hand history.

    I have 7h5h in MP and decide to open raise for $6. CO calls SB calls accidentally as he thinks he's only completing and the BB calls too. SB is the villain here and has been a folding machine for about 2hrs so far but has to make up the extra $4 in the pot because he said call.

    Flop: 5c,5s,4d ($22)

    I lead for $15 and everyone folds except SB who calls.

    Turn: 6d ($50)

    I bet $35 and SB min check/raises me. Now I'm worried. I'm 90% sure he's not reraising me with a lesser holding than me here and that I have 0% fold equity so shoving is out of the question. He has $111 behind and I have him covered. It's such a small raise though so I'm thinking that if he has:

    59-5A: I have 11 outs to win and 6 to draw so that's worth calling.
    58: 7 outs to win and 7 ways to lose so it's even money.
    77-AA, 23, 67: I seriously doubt it but I could be wrong and I shouldn't fold to them.
    66: Please god no.
    54 & 44: 6 & 7 outs to win and not worth calling.

    So even though his line fits the latter 2 holdings the best I opt to call due to the fact that any error in assessing his range on my part requires me to call such a small raise I think. I'm still planning on dumping my hand to anything above about a 1/2 pot raise if the river bricks or even if I hit my straight as I don't expect him to fire again with just trips since he's such a rock. If he checks to me and I hit a 8,7,5,4,3 I'll bet.

    River: 7c

    So now I'm only losing to 77 & 66. Villain leads $70 and I put him in for the other $41 then he turns over 66. I love poker sometimes!

    How's my play here?
    Against a standard player I think this is an easy call on the turn but does anyone think his nitty image should have lead me to fold?

    I just feel bad about the whole hand since I'm normally pretty good with not drawing to 2nd best hands and because I was about 75% sure he had the hands that screwed me but called anyway due to a small amount of uncertainty and the min sized raise.

    Think you played awesome.
    So many people would just shove the turn without thinking. The fact you even considered folding is good. I mean its hard to say when I wasn't there and I know the results but I can't see I woulda folded the turn and 100% would have gone broke on that river.

    I think your reasoning is excellent. There's not a hope in hell I'd stop myself from going broke there.
    For Free Money, Rakeback and some 6x Ongame bonuses, I recommend PokerSource.

    I recommend Cardrunners for superb poker coaching. It was honestly the single biggest improvement in my game signing up there! Sign-up fee might seem steep, but it pays itself back within weeks.

    Sick river card.

    You sound like you had a good read on the player/hand, but the river forced you in.

    Glad to see your radar went crazy with that check-minraise. This player is actually lucky that the river comes a 7, or he might not get you to stack off with him.

    He could have had you trapped properly without that stupid min-raise. He's basically broadcasting his hand and getting little extra value.

    It's nice that everyone thinks I played it well. I was pretty frustrated after that hand mainly because I managed to chip up another turn check-minraiser and these guys are pretty much never bluffing.
