Villain is a 69/12 who likes to bet vs missed cbets.
Questions:
1. I bet the flop just because I would be my whole range there and if I check, might be obvious what I have. Although he's a fish and not thinking about my range...Is this a check vs a fish as only a better hand will call? But since he bets vs missed cbets, is it a check-call?
2. As played, is it ok to give up post-flop?

id give up based on those loose stats of our villain when the turn brings a flush and he can potentially have a wide bet/calling range e.g. 1 club hands and over but also 9x and weak kings.

Also preflop i prefer just checking it (given that we are OOP in this hand and not C betting the flop

If we hit a set we are likely to win a good size pot vs a loose opponent so were not worried about building one early just in case we hit the flop.

Villain has a really wide calling range and the stats seem to suggest a lot of floats mixed in with some strong hands, very depolarized even to the river which makes bluffing difficult to decipher.

normally when you vs a loose player like this you want to widen your value range but in this spot it doesn't seem like a good spot to try continue especially OOP

I cbet flop but giving up on turn. If villian is playing wide and loose than his equity is probably pretty good vs 88 plus we're oop.

Vs villains who don't fold to c-bets, I check pre flop, because it's hard to barrel with 2 outs.

I'd raise pre even if he doesn't fold to c-bets that often, but I don't think op said anything about him not folding to c-bets just that he always bet vs missed cbets. I'd c-bet 1.50 on the flop. If I checked turn I would probably check fold. 9x or better has you beat, and even his JT QT type hands have a lot of equity against you.

What I usually do is bet turn for value against JT QT Acx and check call brick rivers though because most people don't v-bet 9x on the river.

sorry i didn't see the button villain only had $5.50 on the table lol

[mythrilfox]

honesty i'd just jam pre to make life easier on myself. hand is so gross to play postflop OOP with your raise size.

[Obiwanatoki]

agree with thrill

[guitarizt]

Ugh I thought he was the $29.52 stack. Easy jam pre. There's .65 in the middle and that's already like 10% of his stack. I just look to jam pre a lot unless I have JJ+. I'd just cbet flop jam turn as played.

based on his stack size jamming perfectly acceptable, deeper is a different matter
