The flop reveals

Q♠5♠4♣

You’re first to speak. 
You bet 15,000.

Vilain raises to 30,000.
You call.

The turn is 

4♦


Your opponent donk bets 55,000.

You’re confident with your trips. You raise to 155,000.

It takes vilain less than 10 seconds to announce a 3-bet to 255,000!

Well, now we are in extra difficult position. He is total bad ass with big balls, or he has pocket 5s.

There is still chance we presented par of queens or draws well and he is trying to bluff us by presenting trips.

 

I see 2 options:

- fold (yes its super painfull to fold that, sometimes you have to)

- raise to 355000, but beware, after next re-raise I would fold again.

 

I would hate to call here, that would just postpone our problems to river, possibly bringing next spade for even harder decission.

 

I choose raise to 355000 and hope he will well understand it as dedication to all-in and fold all except pocket 5s (or pocket Qs).
