    A fairly pessimistic range to put him on would be something like JJ, 22, AJs+, KcQc, AJo+ for doing this with
    I think his range is wider than that (and probably weaker) given the dynamics of the BvB situation. First if he is LAG, would he not 3-bet preflop most of the hands you put him on? Second he may well be making a stand with Ax against your apparent steal/c-bet, and just "power min raising" the flop so he can get away cheaply "in case you really have the goods". Your flop bet is on the smallish side, so that may have enticed him to think that you don't have an ace. For the same reason, he might be doing this with his entire preflop range rather than flatting your flop bet (more so if he is LAG). Also if he had a strong made hand, would he not raise more on such a board?

    I think I would 3-bet/fold this flop to $3.3 to get some value from all his Ax and flush/straight draws, and still be able to lay down our hand if he shoves. If he folds, so be it. If he calls and the turn is a blank for him, bet/fold.

    And if this is completely stupid or the raise size I proposed is wrong, I'd appreciate if one of the more experienced players who already posted above to explain why.

    The problem I have with flatting his flop raise is giving a free card on such a board and "what do we do on the turn?". As OP said, there are not many turn cards we like.

    So you want to make the pot like 7 dollars with 6.30 in stacks and then b/f the turn?
