i have only 3 hands on Villain 0/0 so far so no information

i think once he shoves i have to fold i am getting 1.72 : 1 so i need about 36% to call here

Board: Kd Qd 2c
Dead:

equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 34.785% 18.31% 16.48% 2175 1957.50 { KhQh }
Hand 1: 65.215% 48.74% 16.48% 5790 1957.50 { KK-QQ, 22, AdJd, AdTd, KQs, JdTd, KQo }

but its pretty close and if he sometimes freaks out with AA or something it becomes a call.

i am just not sure if its good to raise when have to give up so much equity when shoved on and can not entirely be sure that folding is good.

if i knew he would play his draws passively raise/folding seems clearly to be the best play.

but maybe its better to just call and reevaluate turn and river vs unknown?

also i found that a lot of regs are calling the flop in this spots and give up the turn. so maybe its in general a better line to just call down and let him value bet worse/semibluff or let him bluffcatch the turn and river.
especially on this board texture where there seem to be not that many worse made hands that could give me a lot of action.

i like the raise, and i'd call the shove. you have no reads, and the normal NL10 player can have so much worse in this spot. i think the range you have is too tight. put in some AK, AA and some random gutshot with the Ad and you'll get correct odds to call.
