PStars $5 re-buy, down to 71 players, and the average stack is around t110,000.
Villain is an
active player, loose and aggressive without being neither donk, maniac or real tough.
I have been playing tight; three hands earlier I have increased my stack by t20,000 by pushing two cards from the BB after 3 limpers, including villain, and making them fold.

I'm not crazy about that call, but I have seen villain gamble before, and I'm willing to put KsQs in his range. Or he could be way ahead with a slowplayed pair of JJ. AA? Highly unlikely.

Can I put him on KsTs? That would be soo farfetched. I believe he would have opened AQ for a raise PF, and definitively bet (or CR'ed) them on the flop. 22 seems impossible.
I don't see any possible holdings of his I'm behind now where I can call with the pot offering me 2.5 : 1.
So it all comes down to: What could he be playing this way?
Best,
