Hi guys
villain was playing something like vpip65 pfr25.
No reads on him unfortunatley, havent seen hom do anything crazy and I havent really done anything crazy
How do you play this?
Is it an easy fold when he shoves?

Hmm, 79 or 9Q is well within his range.
Nice try at a steal on the flop but I fold after that huge AI

Definitely fold to the all-in, you are likely crushed. His PFR % probably excludes 88, TT, JJ here. JT, J8, Q9, 97 are all in his range though. Also, with stats like that I'd imagine he's very aggressive postflop, so I'd add J9, T9, QJ to his range. Regardless, he's representing a big hand and you have the worst two pair hand, easy fold.
(I'm still wondering if we need to 3bet this flop, or if it might be better to call his raise and see what transpires on later streets since he seems very aggressive).

Thanks for the advice!, yeah I think I agree that calling was problably better then 3-betting

Easy fold, you have bottom 2, villain has a range, all of which is ahead of this with the AI bet.

Id agree with Genesis, i dont know how much the flop 3 bet achieves, unless he's been making moves postflop.

Id call his flop raise, c/c turn and likely c/f river unimproved.
