So villian has a good read on what Hero is likely holding but the inverse is not neccesarily the case. So let's narrow villians hand selections to 66/55/44/33. Either way he isn't getting enough implied odds to set hunt here but I think what villian is lacking in implied odds might be made up for by information about Hero's hole cards. Either way villian is entering a -EV situation in calling the raise but Hero can be blindsided with this line.

Any thoughts on this because I'm not even sure I believe what I'm saying.
it's def. -EV for villain no matter what because if he has a small pair it will cost him too much in the long run to make up for the times he stacks me and since he is incapable of folding a high overpair on this kind of flop he loses his stack every time.
