Are you cbeting this flop and if so, what is your plan for future streets? I thought that betting just 1 streets issn't going to be profitable here, he is going to have way to many PPs and Ax in these positions. And that is not a good range to barrel into either with no real bd draws. This was what I was thinking. What do u think?

Turn: ($13.50) 5

Hero ??? [color=red]

What do u think about c/f compared to bet/bet? His range is more defined now as some PP or air. Maaybe Ax but I think he just bets that pretty often. I can rep KK,QQ etc pretty good, and taking this line doesn't look bluffy at all, looks pretty credible

I see what you're going for preflop but I'd suggest folding. I'm always c betting the flop here. I expect the guy will fold a decent amount and we only have to 1/2 pot it.

C-bet flop imo, like 6 dollars (i c-bet when i squeeze most of the time my squeeze size), c/f turn. You have got enough AK/AQ/AJ in ur range to c-bet imo.

Whether you should cbet the flop as a bluff depends purely on how often he's set mining with 44, 55 and 77 type hands. Given the fish is still in the pot I do see him trying to set mine expecting an overcall a lot, so this is a great spot to bet 35-50% of the pot, you give yourself great odds on a bluff. You could also check flop and if he's the type to bet his Ax but check back his medium pairs, go for a delayed cbet on the turn. But that line takes more assumptions about your opponent than just cbetting the flop, so I would go for the simpler play.

U are basically only betting 1 street here when u elect to cbet? At least that would be my plan if I cbet the flop. Also about delay cbeting. Do u agree that if I elected to go for a delay cbet for the reasons u mentioned, that I should bet river aswell?

Thanks.

Yeah I'd cbet once on the flop because I feel anything lower than TT he folds for sure, and he may fold JJ, QQ type hands as well.

Yeah I agree you should bet turn/river, BUT it should be small bets both times to give yourself a better price on your bluffs. Because if he does check back Ax, if you bet too big on the turn and river it decreases the odds you're getting so it could become -ev. So without reads if you do delayed cbet I like a 35% turn bet and 40% river bet. I'd stick with like a 40% flop cbet though without reads and just give up if he calls. As I said I don't think he'll call with 88 on the flop because your range is pretty strong to squeeze oop multiway against his utg raise.
