Villain is a kinda agressive bad regular. 70% BU steal, 65% cb, river afq 45, wtsd 26 125h other stats irrelevant.
Was playing back at him a lot over a few tables so flop raise would not have gotten much respect, but its my usual line. His sizings are a tell though so he likely has a weak hand. Was gonna raise T on backdoor cards.
R seems like a cheap bluff or a thin vbet. So the best option would be to raise? I still have a lot of strong hands while his range is weak. He will bet the A very often when I check.
