Or can I?

Sky Sports Bounty Hunter. No real reads on villain, because (tin hat on), I haven't really been paying too much attention. Though in fairness, I haven't been on the table for years. From what I have observed, villain seemed fairly normal, not getting too out of line or anything, but their name is new to me. 

Anyway, I digress. Call, call, then leads for 3/4 pot (clearly just clicking buttons). It's an awkward amount vs my remaining stack. 

A lot has missed, but plenty still beats me....can we call here?

    I can kiss away the pain ohhh yeahh....

    oh wait... theres a hand here.

    I dunno.  When someone 3/4 pots it when they usually 1/2 pot it I tend to lean towards bluff rather than nuts.  Do they 3/4 it when they value bet or is this an unusual amount?

    It would help if you paid attention... that way you might have a better idea!

    either a J or tonnes of missed flushes... AQ, Q10 hands.  I'd probably level myself into calling... but thats probably because i try and be a hero too often.

    He has a lot of Jx in his range here (QJ, JT, AJ) - it's true there are a lot of missed draws but it's not a board a good villain should be betting all their missed draws on. (unless they're value betting really thin too) There are a lot of villains though that will just mindlessly bet all their missed draws and against these calling would be fine. But w/o reads here I think I just fold.

    Also not a fan of the c-bet here since oard hits their calling range quite well.

    Think this is a fold. With the stack sizes I would assume most draws would probably try and GII on the flop. Would expect to see a J here quite often.

    Im guessing you called to see AQ A10 mate but imo i think calling here would be a losing play long term

    fold
    not complicated
    you have a weak pair and he is happy to bet out for half his stack
    if it is a bluff well played

    What range would you assign him given the action?

    Would you check back 1010 here as well? Just look/hope to get to a cheap showdown?
