99 on the Button deep / NL200 6-max

[Neilis]

Villian is 35/25 preflop over something like 50 hands. I have not seen him 3-bet preflop before. I've seen him win a big pot sucking out with top two vs a flopped set. I don't know how he doubled on this table but my instinct is that he's not really that good.

Stack sizes:
UTG: $55.05
CO: $194
Hero: $430.75
SB: $475.60
BB: $225.10

Pre-flop: (5 players) Hero is Button with
2 folds, Hero raises to $8, SB raises to $24, BB folds, Hero calls.

Flop: ($50, 2 players)
SB bets $30, Hero ....?

Obviously a great flop for my hand. I'm fairly sure he knows my button raising range is rather large so his 3-betting range is probably large too considering he apparently likes to raise.

Is this spot a raise or a call? Obviously folding would be stupid, but do I want to risk building a very large pot here with a medium overpair?

I would call. What is the villians name on Stars?

this spot is never a raise. if you raise you're asking him to give you credit for specifically 77/22, and would you really raise those here?

this spot is sometimes a call, sometimes a fold. against a 35/25 i'd probably peel a card. raising and calling both say the same thing: "i have a pair." why not keep it cheap?

the only exception would be if i think villain is a significantly better player than i am, and that i'll make lots of mistakes on future streets. if that were the case, i would raise flop and not put in any further $$$.
