    Default [50NL] KJs...3bet flop. Spewy?

    Villain is 39/28/0 over 18 hands.

    PokerStars - $0.50 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
    Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

    BTN: $50.00
    SB: $61.26
    BB: $68.83
    UTG: $82.31
    Hero (MP): $56.28
    CO: $54.15

    SB posts SB $0.25, BB posts BB $0.50

    Pre Flop: (pot: $0.75) Hero has K J

    fold, Hero raises to $1.50, CO calls $1.50, fold, fold, fold

    Flop: ($3.75, 2 players) 2 6 5
    Hero bets $2.25, CO raises to $6.50, Hero raises to $15.50

    Am I just spewing? I don't know why villain would raise this flop w/ any of his range, other than air. He might think I am FOS w/ the cbet but I think my range is much stronger than villains here.

    I would probably wait for much better reads than just an avg assumption about the avg player on this board.

    ie: wait for more hands and see what his flop raise of cbet is etc. As for your hand choice, I don't mind it, has good equity and bd draws.

    It's something I have been thinking about lately. Usually, I fold and move on. But I have been thinking about how long I wait before making any moves/unorthodox plays and I think I prob lose a lot of money by just folding these spots against unknowns way too often.

    I should also add that I have been struggling to adjust to the pre-flop aggression at 50NL and I'm getting sick of it now. So have changed it up a bit to try and adjust.

    How can you know his range with only 18 hands? I would imagine that with his stats he could be playing any hand, and could be sitting with top two pair. I think his stats are so high, he can have anything, or is it just me who's wrong?

    I don't hate it with the backdoor and overs. My population read at this stake however is that the average player is a dick-waving station with FPS, so I'd rather hero was value heavy here.
