Live $500 Tourney. Villain was new-ish to table and only read was that he's Asian but hadn't done anything out of line or been too active in the couple orbits or so (3-bet with big pair, open with AQ). ~30 players from money.
Hero ~35bb
Villain ~24bb
Folds to Hero in CO w/ black KTo and opens to 2bb. Folds to Villain in BB who calls 1bb more. Pot is ~5.5bb including SB/antes.
Flop KhJsTh. Villain checks. Hero bets over 3bb. Villain C/R to ~10bb.
Hero...?
I probably call fairly quickly if he just shoved, but he made what seems to be a big pot committed bet, so it got me thinking. Is this a spot where people show up with a lot more marginal hands or weaker draws than I think?

Having hard time folding this, though he prolly is not doing this with a bare flush draw. Looks like a pair+draw/combo draw/two pair as well. Will occasionally be Q9 but whachagonna do. I pile

Even given a range that lacks AQ, TT/JJ/KK (which would likely 3-bet us pre) and random low flush draws (which should know I'm likely to hit a broadway flop and continue), aren't we slightly worse than a coin flip versus his range? I'm thinking something like AJhh, KT+, Q9+, JT, J9hh.
Or am I giving him too narrow of a range do make this C/R with?

*grunch*
i'm all in but i'm not thrilled abt it
i would have an easier time shipping if the hand were online instead of live.
in my experience, it's not uncommon for recreational live players to play draws passively and his sizing is scary (as he's clearly committing himself)
i'm much happier to gii, obv, if we have a read that our opponent is on the better side
