i see a set almsot evry time a villain with solid stats like that takes this line

I actually think a call is more profitable because if he does infact have some weak pair or 56 you can bluff the river

i dunno, i dont think calling is the best play. if we think villain's range is mostly small pairs and straight draws we shold push now because he folds all those, and the times he does call with his set or TT or whatever we have at least 7 outs, often 9, and up to 12 outs.

but i my experience solid villains usually have a monster when they take this line, and i think folding > shoving > calling.
not too sure whats best between pushing and folding though... curious to see what other people's read on this situation is.
