Villain is 22/19/4.1 pretty aggressive reg pretty sure he barrels the turn pretty light (as for the river I'm not sure) but will also value bet Jx on the turn. Call and re evaluate river or raise?

I call and re-evaluate river personally. Edit: May have considered raising flop to both see where you're at and potentially get a free turn

I'd prefer to raisy-daisy. You still have great equity in this pot pretty much regardless of what he's holding, and it helps balance your raising range on the turn here with made hands.

I dont think you have much FE vs his betsizing so just call

I just call, u have the best hand a decent amount. what would u be repping by raising, wouldn't u raise this flop with a strong hand?

id call. doesnt seem like we have a lot of FE and he may bet/call quiet often just because you have a decent amount of hands just like yours in your range.

+ there are some good river cards for us.

yeah i think call or fold are best. raising is probs gonna be spew here. turn is based upon how tight you think he is - if you think he can value bet thinly/ semi-bluff/ bluff here a lot i would call but I think we have to be bluffing the river some % of the time to make this profitable
