The pre-flop call is probably standard, though marginal?
I called because Ravic is ridiculous aggressive. Definitely top 3 most aggressive players at these stakes. He 3-bets and barrels a lot. Haven't seen him make plays like turn hands into bluffs with blockers etc.
If I flop a set, he's going to hand over a lot of chips.

Ravic77 bets $5,

Kind of annoying to call here, because I know he's going to double barrel almost every time. Should I just fold here? Him begin aggressive means he has more bluffs in his range, but our hand can't really stand much pressure.

Ravic77 checks,
Hero bets $10,
Ravic77 calls $10
He checks pretty quickly. Not sure if he would balance out by checking a K here, but I assume a guy like him would rather barrel.
I decidee to bet, and try to get him to fold overs, FDs, some PPs (which I don't really expect him to).
Don't see why I'd bet more than 10. That's what I'd bet with Kx as well.

Ravic77 checks
Should I value bet here?
His check-calling range contains a bunch of Ahighs, and medium pocket pairs. There are not many Kx we flat on the CO. Probably KQs (4) and maybe KJs, and occasionally AK.
I decided to check because this guy is crazy, and he might check-raise bluff me.
Is a value bet correct versus an average opponent?
