Default Re: Villain plays his FD super aggressive..

No doubt Villain overplayed but it's not that unusual a hand.

On a 766r flop your hand is likely to be just as good as it ever was. If Villain 3-bets with a fairly wide range then you have a fair chance to have the best hand and at worst you almost always have 3-6 outs.

Obviously, if I didn't hit any piece of that flop, I would have had to fold against his turn/river bet.

This is not obvious at all. Depending on the turn/river cards and the opponent you will often need to take AT unimproved to showdown. Otherwise you give your HU opponent wonderful odds to bluff every flop that looks difficult for you.

Much of the art of the game lies in correctly handling situations similar to this one. Simple strategies like "fit-or-fold" or always calling down with any unimproved ace don't work at this level.
