Over 150 hands villain is playing

have not noticed him get out of line or do anything like this before.

My problem is, that I feel like pretty much all of his range has showdown value like 2 pair and such, and while 2 pair here can easily be beaten, I dont know if he would turn it into a bluff

I think this is an easy fold.

1. Villain isn't calling the flop with air 3 way, he can very easily have played a flushdraw like this.
2. Villain should think that you can easily have a a straight here, and I don't think he can expect that you will be capable of folding (and a flush is also possible).
3. If he has 2pr I expect him to check, hoping to get to showdown.

This is certainly a board where I would overbet shove a flush against a bad player, expecting him to snapcall with a straight 100% of the time.

also, there are more combos of non straight hands that have a bunch of value like 2 pairs and sets than Kx, if he had reason to think a lot of my range is a straight, i think jamming becomes better for him, he could bet me off a lot of my range here
