1-2 9 handed. Villain is an asian guy in his late 20s, early 30s.
He has been pretty active at an otherwise passive table- he raises in Middle position and late position liberally and has no problem raising limpers either. He cbets frequently and these cbets usually take down the pot. Despite how many pots he's been involved in, he has shown down strong hands and seems to be on a mini heater, playing it well. I've only seen him get out of line once:
5 or 6 players in a limped pot. Villain, in BB, c/raises a MP player's 10 bet to 25 total on a board of J
5
4
MP player 3bets to 75 and villain folds, showing K
5
for middle pair with the king high flush draw.
Despite this we think he's a pretty reasonable player- someone who is going to be cautious putting his entire stack in with a dubious hand. We think this mostly because of the following hand the two of us played right after he sat down.
MP player limps. Villain, in SB makes it 8. I call in BB. MP calls. 3 players

Villain bets 15. I make it 50. MP folds, Villain calls.
Turn: 6
Villain donk bets for 45 and I shove, putting him AI for another 105. He tanks and eventually folds, claiming he had AQ. I believed him.
So besides that hand, the two of us haven't tangled. My table image is pretty TAGgy.. I haven't played anything in about an hour. I suspect villain respects my game.
effective stacks of 300sh
Villain limps MP. CO limps. Hero on BTN with T

makes it 15.
This raise is a bit loosey goosey, I know, but I decided my tight image warrented a steal, not to mention that villain almost never has a strong hand here, limping in middle position as his raising range in middle position has been very wide up to this point.
Blinds fold. Villain calls.
2 players. 35 in pot.

Villain checks, Hero bets 25. Villain calls.
Turn: 4
Villain checks, hero bets 60.
I put villain on , 78, clubs, a weak ace, and sometimes 9X.
Villain could have 2pair or sets but it seems less likely that he would check/call OOP with those hands on a fairly bet board.
Thoughts on the turn double barrel?
