KTo on paired flop facing turn jam by recreational
Villain's stack size says he is recreational, and his stats are:
N: 988
VPIP: 45
PFR: 19
Flop checkraise: 1 (1/99)
3Bet: 4
AFq: 43
I did not see his checkraise % at the time so I am mostly interested in the play "in general". My thought process was that he will not be overbet-jamming 5x because he wouldn't want to "scare me away", so the jam feels more draw heavy than a 5x hand. Is that me levelling myself against a fish who just obviously has 5x here?

With the flop checkraise% knowledge, I fold on the flop!
Readless except "recreational" I 3bet the flop. They can have a 5 of course but way too often they think Tx is the nuts here. You look stupid if they have AT, but I think it's profitable still, they call so many Tx preflop : QT, JT, 9T, 7T, 6T... all in their range (at least the suited ones)
See below a similar hand I played yesterday. I know an example is not a real argument and this is not the exact same spot, but still.

I see your point if you think that they are raising Tx as the nuts here. I decided just calling the flop since it keeps his range wide (i.e. all of his bluffs get to try again on the turn). I did not consider that he might overvalue a worse hand

It looks like this sizing doesn't have enough bluffs. I think it's a fold on the Turn.
