Default a bad play from the big blind

Ed's dirty little secret has inspired me to pay a little more attention to what I'm doing in the BB, and I'm not thrilled with it:

villain is a 25/20/4
Party Poker 2/4 Hold'em (7 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

Preflop: Hero is BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 raises</font>, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, Hero calls.

Flop: (4.50 SB) 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 bets</font>, Hero folds.

should I raise this guy pre-flop? and if so, what do I do against the inevitable raise?

or is anyone dumping it against a 20% range (which doesn't always mean what we think it means).

Apparently villian has low raising standards. You have to call and see what happens on the the turn. If checked to bet.

I don't know why you would consider dumping it against this villain. Given his post-flop aggress. he's probably going to keep betting no matter what so I would just call him down.

What is his ATSB%? If it's higher than 40 (or even 30, but I'm guessing its higher than 40), go ahead and throw in a bet or raise somewhere in this hand.

i would 3-bet preflop and lead the flop

if raised i would probably call down, as played i think you should call it down

AF of 4 is super aggro

he was terribly aggressive, but only a 150 hand sample.

I have a lot of trouble showing down ace high hands, particularly when the second one isn't so high. I guess I don't have to worry about denying him any free cards since he won't take them anyway.

I think that sample is big enough, especially if you have been paying attention to the table/his style on this read.
