SB stats after 69 hands: VPIP 37 PFR 21 Limp 14 Post flop AGG 0.75 StealPct 50 and 3-bet 13.79

So my thinking was this: I know he likes to steal a lot from late position but when he bet the flop that much I thought that I had the better hand, because if he had Kx, 44+, A4, A8, AK he would have bet a like 1/3 or 1/2 pot not that much as he did. It feels like he bet this big to make me fold a K2 - KJ type of hand.

It's my thinking off?

I would just call the flop and her-evaluate on the turn. It's tough to get value with shoving and you keep villains bluffs in his/her range.

Two points I see here.

1. Nobody would call preflop tp then fold top pair on such a dry board. In blind vs blind people will almost never fold top pair. At least not to a single bet!
2. You are in position - so there is no need to end the hand quickly. By raising you just push him off all the hands you want him to stay. Like weaker 8 - or small pairs.

So by raising here you make all weaker hands fold (except maybe Q8) and no better hand fold (no kind or pair above 88 will fold in blind vs blind I think)
