Yes, he has more pairs than draws. We have the nut pair. Two Aces. Why wouldn't we want to get more money in the pot when our hand is better than our villains and he has shown interest in the pot? This is poker101. Don't level yourself, it's 1-2 NL
Our opponents will stack off light, we are playing 1/2. For most V's TP or any overpair is the nuts, and when they fire 3/4 pot OTF they usually are not folding to a raise
At 1-2 a majority of our profit will come from prison rape value owning our opponents. Getting MAX VALUE. They did not drive all the way to the casino to hero fold an overpair at the 1-2 game. 80-90% don't know how to range us. They are level 1. They haz TP or overpair, monies goes in pot.
If you aren't raising flop you are missing tons of fat value. Plain and simple.
So while the hand is over and you are patting yourself on the back for winning a 200$ pot not realizing V has $150 left and this should be in your stack as well. Some players will have his $150 in their stack, some won't
