Small pair turns BIG

Villian is a regular at the game and repops a lot from all over. Very aggressive overall. His range here is much wider than I can write down for this post.

Fold pre-flop?

Fold flop?

Um, what worse hands are calling? What better hands are folding?

I guess, 55 and 77-TT might fold. But 3 handed I wouldn't count on it.

I think it's fine. Obviously he won't fold a pair or a 6 against you, but he'll have overs most of the time.

Yeah, what 6?

He's usually got big cards or a pair here, not something with a 6 in it.

I think this play is fine. If you trust your read then go with it. You have to be sure he will be folding though. You're not beating anything that calls you.
