Sorry for fighting groupthink of 'fold fold fold' posts! How many posts in the last week do you think talked about bet sizing in a way not relating to trying to stack off someone over 3 streets? How many posts actually discussed some different strategies?
I've played 2 orbits with the guy, seems solidish but maybe a little loose is exactly that read. He's in a few pots, doesn't seem to showdown too many. Its not much of a read.
FWIW, I folded, and I felt very dirty afterwards. Very very dirty. And no, he didn't show.

Agreed on the bet sizing thing. It's not discussed enough. But the fact that you bet so big on the turn is why my first post said: "Fold". You did nothing to induce a bluff.
Your whole post was set up in a way that we all just waited for you to come in an tell us why it was not a fold. No one who voted fold was surprised that you came back and said it was not a fold.
Something about the whole post irked me. So predictable. You said you thought the next action was obvious and the sort of implied that we would not agree. We complied and said fold. But you still haven't convinced me that vs this villain with your bet sizing, the answer to your fist post is not just: "Fold.".
Maybe I'm just in a bad mood.

Villian is unknown but seems solidish, but probably a little loose as he's involved in a few pots. Not enough hands for stats.

Asking for turnaction and what to do if faced with a raise would probably have gotten a better discussion going.
