Combodraw flop vs c/r 50NL

[TheStudent]

($50.50)
Hero ($50.75)

Dealt to Hero 4 6

Hero raises to $1.25, calls $0.75

FLOP ($2.50) 3 8 2

[color=red]checks, Hero bets $1.50, raises to $5.25, Hero ?

3rd hand of the session, seems like a reg. Also, is my c-bet too small? Should I make it 2? 1.75 or something is not an option since I am not going to type it.

I think I have to GII here, because he is going to bet almost every turn, where I will be lost. Even vs overpair or a set I still have good equity.

i would make it a lil more than 1.50 and just 3bet gii. calling is kind of bad b/c our equity is way lower on the turn when we don't hit, and folding is obv not an option.

I think you can 3bet flop some of the time, but calling flop and jamming turn when you dont hit is also a nice option.
If u think about his range, he cant really valueraise the flop very light (as he doesnt know how u play), and he could even bet/fold some better flushdraws on the turn (and obv all his bluffs).

It just depends on what you think his range is. I think flatting is usually better than getting all in on the flop since when all the $ goes in I'd expect us to be somewhat underdogs vs his range, either flipping or dominated by better flush draws. Almost any value hand he's cr'ing that flop with as well as strong flush draws are not folding but all bluffs should be.

Any bluffs he has, we welcome it with a hand like ours because if the flush hits he is going to try to rep it and you get a stack. If he does check at a further point in the hand we can still bet and take it down a lot. Only downside to flatting is if he bets turn and jams river with a bluff and we miss all our draws but that scenario seems better than just reraising and having his bluffs fold.

Turn jam is an option if we think he folds flush draws + overs
