Villain is a terrible calling station running 71/25, was doing the whole min-3bet thing preflop sometimes but was definitly capable of slowplaying a big hand pre

Meh this river card is obviously bad for your action, but I'd still shove and I don't think it's close. He's obviously never folding a K, and I don't think a smaller raise is called that much more often by AT/QT type hands.

Shovinski. This is that sort of blocker bet that wants a cheap showdown but is calling your raise anyway most of the time.

I really don't like the flop raise.

If you are trying to fold hands that missed the flop you might as well call, and bet the turn (assuming villian doesn't 2 barrel)

Also, if the villian has a J and can't fold it when a flush card comes you risking getting blown out of this pot when you have a good chance to stack this guy later in the hand - and you are putting money in when signifcantly behind.

So to me, it looks like calling dominates raising on the flop.

shove river or minraise if you think he'll fold a Q/10 to a shove.

Will these plays auto check/fold if you just call? If so you change little by waiting until the turn to win the pot.
