will his future 'animal' instincts be reduced if you just call down?

are you ahead here with any significant frequency if you get 3 bet and call down?

can you fold if you are 3 bet?

will he bet a worse hand again on the river?

i think you get what im saying [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]... this case all the evidence imo calls for a calldown and i dont see how you can advocate raising unless a) he is a complete spewtard that you've seen go 3 bets on the turn with a hand worse than (now) top pair) or b) he goes super passive on turn/river no matter the relative value of his hand.

i dont think raising is a spew, and lee knows im relatively more cautious than other high limit players, but id say the evidence here warrants more cautious action vs. the animal.

further considerations include that if he has a draw, AT or AcXc are now ahead of you and have you drawing to 5 outs in the first case and 4 outs in the second case, which you cannot fold to if you get 3 bet.
