calling 3 barrels vs FTP's smart lag ?

[nextgenneo]

Vil is smart lag on FTP

I was multi tabling so my turn call was a little delayed and might be interpreted as what my hand is. anyways I feel by the river my hand is effectively face up.

No significant history vs smart lag as I don't play on FTP except I 3bet him with ATs before and I think it checked down and I won with a pair of Ts. He will know that I am 2p2 and decent enough to be thinking. I am prob running about 18/16 in his db.

His numbers are:

22/16.5/3 w/ AFs of 4.2/2.7/3.5 over a 10,000 hand sample

Well raising just turns our hand into a bluff and whilst he might fold TT/JJ we are inflating the pot with a medium strength hand which does have good showdown value. Once in a while however if I played a lot vs him I feel it might be good to raise this about 20% of the time purely to balance my play.
