I prolly call flop as well, in case he takes a stab but once he fires the turn like that we know stacks are going in... I don't feel comfortable doing that when we only beat something like AJ or someone going crazy with AK or an underpair?
Sure, it DOES happen but once we 3bet pre and call flop I think he'll slow down with his crap leaving only stuff valuetowning us.
Why would he donk, because he's oop perhaps? Afraid you'll check behind, thinking you're not folding AA or KK when he donks this flop with his TT or JJ where you might escape when he raises?
I dunno, it just seems very easy to say 'stacking off is fine vs this villain' while we only have reads based on 20-ish hands where I seemed to also have learned that stacking off with just one pair isn't good. (That and the 'ppl play more straightforward in 3bet pots').
I don't disagree completely with you. I would
like to have more hands before making this call down. But lets focus on what we
do have instead...
Villain has voluntarily put money in the pot in 8 (6 of them he has been the PFR) of the 25 hands he has played. In
every single instance where he has had a chance to bet/raise post flop... he has...
It's not a ton of information, but it is some, and it is the best information we have to go on... and in this instance with an overpair... I think this is a +EV calldown... one way or the other we will have more information after the hand is over...
