Villain is tight and agg. No real history with this character.

To preface, I am trying to cut down heavily on my hero calldowns. Im obviously not good enough to do it profitably yet, especially at stakes as passive as 1/2.

This one felt more like I was calling for value. When an unknown donkbets me on a flop like this, I usually am not giving him credit for any kind of strength. Usually its a bluff, and occasionally its a weak top or middle pair betting "to see where he is at" generally, with a hand like a missed AK, i am giving him the information he needs and raising his bet, and he usually folds. Rarely, although sometimes its a set, but on a board like this I think sets usually get checked to me on the flop or maybe the turn.

Postscript: I usually fold K9o preflop, but I wanted to pick up the 3 dead dollars in the pot.
