If someone has been reasonable up to this point, and then all of a sudden this overbet jumps out of nowhere, I tend to give the opponent credit.
Remember, if you're putting someone in line who is making unreasonable moves against you, by reraising them or calling them down marginal, it's because they got out of line in the first place. It's all about maintaining a long term edge. Your advantage over this opponent or any other opponent has nothing to do with this one hand.
You don't have to build big pots OOP with bust hands like this against reasonable opponents. Take larger edges against reasonable opponents, and gamble in weird hairy spots against unreasonable opponents.
This is a gem. I'm copying it and putting it on a sticky on my monitor.
