In general I will say, that this back-raise is usually some medium pocket pair, that they first tried to take for a cheap setmine, and when that did not work, then instead of folding they decided to turn it into a bluff. However in this case the effective stack was 128BB, so a hand like 88 could actually be played as call of your 3-bet and still try to flop that set.

So maybe in this particular situation it is more skewed towards a trap hand like AA or KK? However you do block those, and I also have to question, if they would not be taken for a smaller 4-bet? After all the whole purpose of setting the "trap" is to induce action, so when he get that action, would he really want to make it very easy for you to get away?

So I dont know man. I tend to agree with John A, that calling here is probably close to neutral EV. So it basically comes down to, how curious you are, and how much in the mood for these massive swings. But I guess, all in insurance is still an option in Stars cash games? And in that case you could call, and if he flip over anything other than AA, then simply cash out your share of the pot, which is then going to be at worst 30%, if he has KK and a lot more, if he has anything else.
