MP raised to 30 with a limper, meaning he's probably a fish and may not c bet or may c bet to a gay amount.. he may call with overs also. Because of this I don't mind a lead.

Since you did not raise pre-flop he probably does not put you on an overpair. His read might be A6, or something to that effect, trying to get a read.

I think you should re-raise to $350, and be done with the hand if he calls or pushes. I believe that is the cheapest way to find out if you have the best hand and keep the aggression.

This is still a pretty expensive way to get information. Does he have a combo draw (pair+gutshot) or a monster (set/straight)? Both of those hands are willing to at least call the rr, and both may go to the felt. We can discount the possibility of complete air since he's rr'ing into the pfr and raising a hand repping medium strength (betting out 3/4 pot). The only hands we'll fold are other overpairs and even those might come over the top.

I think we're best off calling the $70 on a "Let's see what he does on the turn" draw. Consider betting out on a blank turn and put a potential drawing hand to the test. (This however may open your hand to an opponent with a read on you.)

I think this is exactly the line a donk would take with a huge hand hoping to keep the PFR in the pot as well as the OP.
