Villain was 23/15 over 47 hands, saw him open 95s from MP once.
Kinda lame spot, when they call we see sets/AJ imo a lot, but when they fold?
Flat and call most turns/river? What are we afraid of, a Ten, King, Ace?

Against an aggressive opponent if you decide you want to gii otf then you're better off just re-raising to something like 725, which gives him the opportunity to spaz shove or flat some hands. When you shove you're basically hoping he tools out with KJ or AJ, and you don't give him the chance to make a big mistake.

Flatting his raise otf is another okay option, though it does come with the small risk of a J, K or A hitting.

It really depends on how likely you think he continues with worse hands otf if you re-raise.

Flatting flop raise is certainly better than 3betting or w/e else
