Villain is 40/6/0.8 over 100 hands, no specific reads. The question is do I just call or shove? Should I have reraised flop? If I just call on the turn what is my river action?

When he follows up the flop min-raise with a pot-sized turn bet, it's looking like he likes his hand, so KT, TT, 44, and, er, Kc4c are all legitimate concerns.

I probably would call again with the idea of letting Villain control the pot size for me. This might not work, I'll admit, but there's always the chance that Villain just has, like, KQ or AK even if he makes a big river bet.

A turn checkraise push is another option, I think, but Villain's relatively passive stats do make me hesitate.

Edit: Actually, I might have made a big flop 3-bet, after which I'd probably be pretty heavily invested in the hand by the turn anyway.
