I've been at the table for about 20 mins. I built my stack to $180; one time I had KK and won a $80 pot off a shortstack, and one pot I played against villain in this hand. I raise a ton on the button, and he has reraised me about 5 times so far. One time I called with JTs. Flop came 237r, he bet $1, I raised pot an he folded. I haven't been too aggressive from the blinds due to the fact that I didn't get a lot of playable hands, but villain has been stealing a lot of blinds from the button. To the hand:

I get [8d] in the BB; Villain (covers my $180) raises pot on the button, and I reraise after SB folds. Villain calls.

Flop (pot=$22): [9d][Kh]. I lead for the pot; villain thinks for a while and makes it $60. I push, villain thinks again but finally calls.

Hand seems pretty standard but I'm wondering what range villain should call with here; unless my opponent is known to bluff a lot, I would not play for 180bb stacks with less than AK here, and even then I wouldn't be comfortable. So I was surprised to see that villain called me here with QQ, which surely only makes sense if he narrows down my range to a draw or a bluff. Is it the third raise that gives it away? Does a call and a donkbet on the turn give me more folding equity?

your play is fine. villain's an idiot and you're a favorite anyway on this flop.

I love the way you played it and I'm stunned that he called.
