by 40/80 did you have any reads on the player? Seeing it was BvB I figure you'd had some other battles with him before. I'm probably not folding, but I like to build a chip stk early and use it as a sludge hammer!

You absolutely must raise the flop and get it in there.

he overbets, so I would just shove flop and get it over with. You don't want a ten peeling the turn, and talking yourself into a bad fold.

He bets so much on flop I'd just go ahead and shove and get it in on flop if he decided to lead with a better two pair, set or somehow has a straight already then so be it cause it's a cooler for sure. Def. shove flop though.

Your are BvB here so it skews the situation a little and you have to adjust your thinking a touch. My guess is he is holding a Jack of some sort here or an Ax/Kx type hand and thinking that it could be good. When he leads the flop I slam my stack back in his face. This is a perfect opportunity for him to make a nice sized mistake and just snap call us.
