Had not played alot of hands w/ villian, but he seemed to like raising alot first in from LP. Thoughts?

i'd 3bet pre-flop.

i'd raise the flop rather than the turn, but that's an interesting line, especially with the min raise serving as a blocking bet for the river.

What I thought was, that if he missed the flop, there's a good chance he checks the turn and I will try to take it down. However, when the second K came, I figured that even though he bet, I could find out his hand easily by a min. raise. If he pops me back, I'm done, if he calls and fires the river. I´m done. I often feel that this guy who I assume will raise marginal hands from LP will also interpret a re-raise on the flop more as "fighting back" rather than calling the flop and betting the turn. I don't have any facts to base this on, it's merely a feeling I have. What do you think?
