Villain seems weak fishy. I'm not sure what my plan should be here because I have two thoughts that both seem reasonable.

We barrel here because if he has a hand we beat he will call once more and not turn it to a bluff otr even IP, so we essentially buy a free SD against hands that we beat while also getting this extra street of thin value.
We check/call here because fish call flop wide anyway (although a lot of that will be A-high...), so we give him a chance to stab and then we xf river if he fires again under the assumption that he won't continue blufing. Pretty normal to see fish checkback with bluffs and not even bother bluffing them again if they don't improve.

What are your opinions?
