It's too expensive finding out. Unless villain has a history of doing so, let him have this one. With information the wise may proceed.

First off, PFR'ing twice an orbit isn't isn't really too crazy. OP doesn't give us a sample size...maybe the guy just had good cards and is used to people calling his flop overbets at this level. That's perfectly reasonable assumption.

It's not weak tight to fold a middle pp in this spot. It's smart poker. By pushing, you are advocating roulette or a guessing game or something along those lines that is not good poker, nor is it how you combat players who overbet flops as described.

Against a player like this you don't need to wait for a monster, he will be broke by that time. Even if he has 2 overs you are better then 2:1, if he has a small pair or just 1 over he's crushed. You can't give a player like this credit for a premium hand just becaused he raised pf and fired off a CB, that's what he does every time. You've got to play back and this is a fine flop to do it, there is only 1 over to your pair which even if he has it he won't feel comfortable calling a push. Then when he folds you can show him and put him on wild monkey tilt [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]. JMO

I agree with the consensus here. You can find better spots to "make him show."

Wait for TPTK or a good overpair/set or something before you can stack him... getting cute with underpairs is a good way to pay him off.

True OP didn't say how large his sample size was, but that was the read provided. Assuming he literally raises twice every orbit, that is somewhere between a LAG and a maniac at a full table. He is certainly raising alot more then TT-AA/AK. JMO
