You're not necessarily missing anything. I don't feel that pissed with it and the reason I've posted it is because I can't think of anything I could have done better, but that doesn't mean someone else won't be able to. I think it's an interesting hand, because it's not really a suckout as such - he has a fuckload of equity.
Perhaps, and of course we need to see a play like this from him first, we could 3bet him bigger to narrow his range, but I suspect he'd have called almost any size 3bet once he'd decided to call, as evidenced by my other thread here tonight about an oversized 3bet and a set of 3s.
If that's the case, then the right adaptation is instead to realise that if he's willing to open a hand, he's willing to stack off with it, so if we know his opening range reasonably accurately we could open shove the top half of it behind him, or at least open 3bet big enough to pot commit him, since he's likely to continue with anything he's opened no matter how big we raise.
Just like the set of 3s hand, if our donkey is calling with a wide range here, and is usually passive, perhaps when he wakes up on the flop we smell a set here and fold, but that's a tough fold, and of course if he might to raise a draw that's behind we can out-think ourselves.
I guess you've just got to know your moron.
