I have 95 hands with Villain, he's 33/14/2.25
In my experience these baby bets are a K who's not sure if he's good (which does NOT mean he'll fold if pushed), or some kind of draw. Raising seems silly, but folding seems equally weak. That said, I have a problem letting go of pocket pairs. I'm in counseling for it.
Anyway:
