This hand involves the 3-bet monkey from my previous post. I can't find the hand history but this represents it pretty much accurately. More info on villain: he was basically a donk, running 48/15/10 over a good sample. His MO was 3-betting and post-flop aggression - strangely, he didn't open that many hands (I was raising more than he was) but his 3-bet % was about 20 and his aggression frequency on all streets was really high, like 70%. Fair amount of donk betting and check-raising.

I was in a number of hands with him, and had let him take the majority of those small pots, not wanting to take a lot of stands with no pair no draw. Ace high might have been good at some point, but he showed he was willing to stack off himself with ace high or almost any pair if he'd already put a lot of money in, so I didn't want to get too crazy fighting over thin edges with him. The most significant prior hand was the AKs one that I already posted, where I pushed over his obvious squeeze (he folded it). My table image was generally TAgg and I think he felt comfortable pushing me out of pots.

I was the button with - villain was the small blind. Effective stacks were $50. At this point I had him covered - he took a beating on the aforementioned ace high-stackoff and had rebought up to 100 BBs.

Folded around to me, I made a standard open to 1.50. Villain called, BB folded.

Pot was now 3.50. Flop - :Ks: . He checked, I bet 2.50, and he check-raised to 8.00. I hesitated a few seconds and called.

Pot was now 19.50. Turn - . He now hesitated a few seconds and checked. I bet 14.00.

What do you think? Do you think this is a good board to take a stand? If so, do you like calling or 3-betting on the flop? (My thought was, if I had AK or KQ or KJ here, I'm usually calling; so I don't want to play this hand too differently.) The turn gives me a bunch of outs if he really has something - should I take a free card there, or pounce on his weakness while I have the chance?
