First time playing villain but seems to be a very bad player. One huge read was that he flatted QQ vs my open earlier 25bb deep(when it was 20/40) and c/c J high two tone flop and checked it down on a bad runout. He doesn't cbet very much and I think he rarely ever bluffs. He's not super loose on the bb too. Think he defends 40-50% and almost never 3bets.
Flop I thought this was a standard get it in spot with top pair top kicker this shallow. I think he can still do this with weaker 7x and he's likely not giving up after value raising. There's way more 7x in his range than PPs. I doubt he has any 72 or 73 since he is not loose enough. I have been cbetting a lot too so he might raise his 7x for thin value/protection oop.
We are certainly in a way behind/way ahead spot but I believe if I call it down instead I might not be able to get his whole stack when overcards come and thus lose out on value.
Was this even close at all? Or always a stack off spot readless. I think it's the latter. With a weaker 7x like 87 or 97 I might consider calling and reevaluating turn and river.
