Default Bad Risk / Reward? i.e. Spewing?

Primary Villain is unknown. Sat down about 15 hands before and seems to like to see the flop and has a lot of misplaced aggression (though a very small sample, obviously). I've seen him raise a gutshot against a calling station and call down (including the river) without hitting. The open-limper is lame and predictable.

Too small a pot to raise-fold the flop? Given he has shown one incident, over a small sample, of calling down with a missed draw, too expensive to make this play OOP with two streets to come?

I think this boad screws you against this guy's range, and he sounds donkey enough to call you down with a medium pocket pair here. I think if he had open-raised, the play might be better becauae there's a lot more hands you're ahead of. For someone who 'likes to see flops,' raising a limper usually indicates strength.

Based on your read, I would proably fold and look for a better spot.

EDIT: Also, the misplaced aggression means you could be folding a few winners here as well, which makes it less cut and dried to fold to further aggression from him.
