Middle set, monotone flop, deepish

Obviously I can't count on someone spazzing out that much with no history with top two that often but it got me thinking anyway.

BTW: The mindset behind the turn shove is that he feels he's ahead against your range and doesn't want to play a river card in a big pot with big money behind. It's a weird scared money thing. I've seen this a fair clip in live games.

I'd b/c the turn. The flop is soooo drawy. he can be shoving tons of one pair hands he thinks are the best, vs what he perceives to be your FD+gutter or FD+OESD.

If he was peeling the flop with a pair, this is as great as a brick as he could hope for on the turn (of which, there aren't too many).
