The way he has played the hand up to this point I put villain on overcards, most likely AK.
Im pretty happy to shove in this situation because if I call and an A, K or Q hits on the turn I will have a pretty difficult decision if he bets again.
Basically it's a pot sized raise (3.5x). You don't want to make a pot sized bet always but in 3bet pots preflop aim for 3.5x in position and 4x out. Why do you put him on overcards? I've learned to give unknowns respect until they have lost it and having AK or overs would be a semibluff which is a very rare concept used by microstakers therefore I'd give him the benefit of the doubt until he has proven, at showdown, he can start 3betting post flop with worse. If you honestly have this read that it's most likely overs then calling and trying to extract more on the turn or raising now knowing he can call/raise with overs is fine. But noticed we should rarely raise for info., which would make us fold after our raise. That line just sucks, not sure if you understand that or not, because I do contradict myself by saying we should fold now in my original response. I just feel we raised for the wrong reasons and played to LOSE the minimum as opposed to GAIN the maximum so now it's time to be pissed and fold. We don't want to be pissed and fold, so the whole raise/fold thing = pissing us off = not good.
