Yeah, it's a 1/2 game, but I think a player who shows up to play in troopers weekly meet and greet game may be coming from higher stakes as well.
It's not a mistake to cbet a dry flop after 3betting pre. It's a mistake to always cbet a dry flop after 3betting pre. It's a mistake that might not be punished much by certain players, but it is a mistake nonetheless.
Against certain fit-or-fold players, I like checking this flop because if the flop is checked, they lead out with Ax or better on the turn and check/fold anything worse unless they pick up a draw. So, you bluff them off of mostly the same hands they would fold on the turn but never dump money to their good hands.
Is Trooper's opponent in this hand someone who fits this profile? I don't know.
