Villian Stats (VPIP/PFR/AF): 26/7/2.7

Villian has been calling on most hands that I raise preflop when in position. He hasn't shown a lot of aggression against me personally, but has done his fair share of 3 betting. Thoughts on how to proceed, and play up to that point?

I usually don't open KQo that early but if you're gonna, make it more preflop. Atleast 4x bb, What's his fold to cbet stat? I can find the fold button here easy.

Villian's fold to Cbet is 0. Unfortunately, I'm using the Carbon Pot odds Calculator, and don't know how to see the sample size.

EDIT: I should add that I only have stats on him from this one session... maybe 60-70 hands.

Any advocates for a 3 bet here? He has done a fair bit of reraising post flop throughout the game. He very well could just be playing back at me. Do you think a 3 bet could put him off of Ax or Kx? Would it even be worth it?

3-betting and post flop aggression are two completely different things. There are going to be a lot of bad aggressive pre-flop players at your stakes, that are horrible and passive post flop. So I wouldn't confuse the two things.

Well, really there isn't much he should be raising with here unless he has 77 or A7. So if you were going to make a play, this would be the spot. But really, calling and allowing him to bluff his QT,QJ, air type hands is much more profitable. You just need to be prepared to call multiple streets. If you call the flop, he will likely slow down on the turn if he was just making a play based on his aggression numbers (although don't know sample size here).
