Yaah this is kind of my line of reasoning.

P4's - don't you think its conceivable that this type of player views us as the tightest player at the table, and is MORE likely to try bluffing us here since we very likely only have one pair on this board and given our tightness somewhat afraid to stack off this deep.
So you are saying that he thinks we will fold because he knows that we know that he knows that we have an overpair? I guess it might be possible, but I wouldn't bet my 300BB stack on it for several reasons:

1. It should be obvious to even a weaker player that we have at least an overpair after we call the flop. Does this aggro maniac really expect us to fold an overpair against HIM?

2. c/minraise flop doesn't seem like a draw either. If we think this is total spew, then why would he target Hero in this spot, with no metagame going on? Is he really leveling us into thinking that we should fold our overpair against his maniac style, just because we have no reason to expect that he would go crazy against a solid player?

3. Villain seems to use pot sized bets in a variety of situations. He has even done it for value in a spot where very few players would bet full pot against a very weak range.

4. Villain doesn't seem to be totally clueless since he is aggressive both preflop and postflop. He also seems capable of utilizing his image for extraction with good hands.

5. If villain does in fact have complete air/spew, then he won't even give us his last 220 if we shove the turn.

I'm fully aware that the arguments for stacking off are strong here as well. I just don't like the style of poker where we make a stand by playing a huge pot with a very marginal hand, just because we can't put a virtually unknown villain on a strong hand.

I don't mind snapping off some bluffs, but doing a calculated 300BB thin stack off is another thing entirely. It's just not my cup of tea.
