Villian had been quiet the first 20 hands or so. Then about 5 hands before this one, he lost most of his stack to a flush after paying off with just 2nd pair weak kicker. He then shoved his 900 chip stack 3 of the next 5 hands, doubling up the 3rd time with a JQ after he won a coinflip. Then this hand occured. Call or fold?

Obviously you've a great chance against his range here, as there's no way he's on an overpair so you're basically looking at:
PP from 22-99
2 random high cards
suited connectors
Ace-rag

From this range, the hands that have hit a set or contain a 9 are well outnumbered by the hands you're beating. I can't be bothered doing the maths, but I imagine you can work that side of things out.. I call.

How can you just eliminate an overpair immediately like that ?? Flatting in position with an overpair isn't uncommon at all.

It's unlikely he'd resist shoving an overpair. He's shoved the last few hands, and would have a great chance of getting a call if he wanted one pre-flop.

Yeah, I'm willing to go down if he's got me beat here. I'd call.

I was aware of this, but i thought an overpair was very unlikely here. This would have been the perfect time for him to shove a bigger pair, knowing that with his little semi tilt the last few hands he would get called by a much larger range. I basically put him on a weak PF hand. The problem was i had to decide if whatever trash he played contained a 9. With about two seconds left after calling time, i decided to make the call. I can beat mid and bottom pair, a smaller pp, a draw, two overs, and ace high. I didn't put him on a set or he would have played it slower i think. Only a 9 kills me here, so i called. ****........
