what kind of high pair does he flat pre? Is he good enough to consider folding some overpairs

IDONKCALLU

he a sneaky player seen him limp with pairs and i think if i raised he would of called with a higher pair the turn was a 4 so think it saved me money because if i raised on the flop i have to continue with the story on the turn

I can't put him on a high-pair here: I think 88+ would be 3-bet by most players. The hands I'd fear with his call pre-flop, out of position are mostly small pairs, set mining. Obviously this is a good flop for that range and his lead out could be to get value out of a hand like yours, a flush/straight draw as well as to prevent the free card coming to scare/beat him. He could be playing a flush draw himself but I think, especially considering the call from tripl3ac3s, you're getting great pot-odds and implied odds, if they do have a set, to peel the turn. I don't want to come over the top of two players who've called my pre-flop raise, especially if I think the set is in their range. Maybe in a tournament this is a shove against the "donk" lead, but it looks a bit scary and unnecessary to me, deep-stacked in a cash game on this board, given my assessment of their respective ranges.
