Villain is 60/41/2.46 over 160 hands.
While those stats are very large, it's very noticeable. In addition, different than other open min-raise donkeys who have large PFRs, his raise sizes are generally legitimate to marginally too much.
In this hand, villain thought for a short bit before calling my 4bet, and then near insta-shoved flop.

Edit: I should add, villain 3betting here was common, not uncommon (w/o regard to position).

I'd usually like a little better than to play back with. Either a bigger A, a pocket pair, or something suited. Axs or a SC or one gapper. Letting these guys pwn you for a bit, isn't always a bad thing.

I agree with Devin here. Too many times I used to get fed up with a player and find myself getting into marginal ev spots. With a little patience these guys will often offer huge ev spots.
