Up until this point, you havent invested much, but to get a chance to take down this bet you have to risk a lot more. If he pushes, you are folding, if a scare card comes and he continues his hard betting, you are folding, and if he has you beat already you again lose money. The only way you will win here is if villain is doing this with air and folds and doesnt have the balls to 3 bet with air, I dont think Im that confident against a random opponent to build a big pot with overcards.
from experience, i think its +EV. most average thinking players lead with a strong hand, but when they start doing that you know they are tricky.
