Opp is 31/21/2.3 after ~100 hands. This just felt like a good spot to do this.

UTG ($74.61)
MP ($84.15)

Preflop: Hero is SB with A, K. Hero posts a blind of $0.25.
3 folds, Hero (poster) raises to $1.75, BB calls $1.50.

Flop: ($4) 6, 4, 4 (2 players)

I probably wouldn't c-bet this flop. And I would guess he had some sort of pp here. His preflop stats are high but his aggro is only 2.3, which is not that big.

I think you've been had.
You only have put $5 in that pot. Fold it on turn unless you have a killer read that he will always bet into weakness. Any PP beats you along with A6, A4, 45. He also might call with a larger range since he may be defending his blind.

To the contrary, I cbet this flop everytime. The paired board makes it much harder for the opponent to call a bet without at least a PP.
Playing live . . . thanks alot Bin Laden.

jackvance is an unknown quantity at this point
 I don't think this is the right flow for a bluff. They don't usually "take over" on your aggression to start bluffing. (or they'd atleast do it with a c/r) You can better pick off bluffs when they raise and (you suspect) cbet.
