Poker Stars $10.00+$0.50 No Limit Hold'em Tournament - t10/t20 Blinds - 2 players

On the BTN, I have been raising 2xBB 90% of the time and I have been cbetting 80% of the time. The villain has refused to play back at me.

BB: t1110 M = 37
Hero (BTN/SB): t1890 M = 63

Pre Flop: (t30) Hero is BTN/SB with 6 6
Hero raises to t40, BB raises to t100, Hero calls t60

Flop: (t200) 2 3 3 (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets t120, BB raises to t240

The pot is 560; my stack is 1670 and the villain's stack is 770.

Normally, I would I comfortably push, but due to to the villain's previous timidity and his small raise that offers me excellent pot odds, I am actually hesitant. I ponder folding because it is only the first level and I will have plenty of time to exploit his timidity.

Should I push or fold?

I think he turns up with a higher pair a lot of the time given your read. There are definitely better spots.

Against a looser opponent I'd consider it, but if this guy's not been playing back at you at all I find it hard to believe he'd have a worse hand this time.

I prob just jam or raise big here. Not in love with it obviously, but I don't know what calling and reevaluting does for you. What are good turns cards for you? and anything besides a 6 (which gives you nuts) already has u beat (77-AA+) right?

But what does jamming do for you then? Then he only calls with better hands and fold worse. If you call he may shut down or minbet and you can see cheap showdown?

(figured he is likely to minbet due to his somewhat smallish wierd sizing)

Its a paired flop, odds that he hit or that you hit are lower than normal. Guys like to c/r min to take advantage of this a lot of times.

Shoving wins the money in the pot right here n now, lets him call with like A2, 44,55, maybe even 45 some ******ly (sp?) dumb times or w/e and you really can't do anything positive on future streets by flatting.

I expect him to have 2 overs a lot here but by shoving you take the rug out from under him and he really can't call. Sure you may look stupid when he shows you 3x here sometimes but w/e. Your giving up on future streets and going into a shell praying for a check thru or hoping you smack a 6.

I think this might be better used if there's a game dynamic of outplaying one another or if you had trips or boat here or a better pcket pair, but I don't think you really want a spazz
