Just sat down at this table 3 hands ago. To date Villian has open-raised preflop all of them, got called by one of the blinds once, and raised the opponents flop donk on a ragged board. This is the extent of my read that he is aggro and has a rather wide range for 3-betting me here. I flop TP and call thinking he will give up on the turn and would fire at that flop with most if not all of his 3-betting range. I am prepared to fold to a turn shove. However that bet on the turn is strange, and his flop bet was also a little undersized - I think small/medium pocket pairs and a missed AK/AQ or the flush draw are now a large enough part of his range to justify getting it in. The other possibility is that he bet smallish to induce a shove but I don't encounter that a lot at these stakes. I want to know if you people think I should go with my read in this hand or if it's not strong enough - I am usually only too happy to muck top pair to aggression in 3-bet pots at this level when calling with SCs because most Villians are nits when it comes to 3-betting preflop. And if you think I have made any mistakes in my thought process or actions throughout the hand. Thanks.
