how many is the button villain in this hand. we're 4 or 5 handed. he openraises from the cutoff or button and i 3 bet KJo from one of the blinds. he calls. heads up.

I think howmany's game might have a hole in it if you think this play is profitable.

Under these game conditions, he has no business sitting down if he didn't ever take this line with banana's. Look at what mike's doing.

You're wrong--raising in Howmany's spot with air is just bad. And you have Mike's rebluff to prove it. Nobody folds a pair tto a flop raise there and {Ax,22+} makes up the vast majority of mike's range. 3-betting KJ from Mike's spot is terribly standard but still not a big enough part of his range to raise with T9s or whatever.
Edit: Really I should have said that if howmany doesn't have a rep for raising the flop with his good hands on these kinds of steal/resteal situations then he shouldn't be raising with air. If Mike knows he'll raise with a bad ace, for instance, then an occasional bluff with air is probably profitable.
