I was recently playing some heads up 5/10 PLO against an opponent who would check raise 80% of flops.

I want to know whats peeoples thoughts are on the best way to play against someone like this.

1. check behind unless you hit the flop
2. float alot of his check raises and try to take it on latter streets
3. 3 bet bluff the flop

i like 2 if you are deep enough ... i think 3 he would catch up pretty fast. 1 seems like a safe option to keep pot small since it seems like he doesnt mind playing a big pot pre oop from the getco.

1, I don't think is an option.

2, Definitely, is the correct move if you are deep. if short , only with premium starting hands.

3, Would only get used in a Trapping scenario.

Like most flops, he will miss more then he will hit. depending on his aggression factor on each street, i would check raise with any two pair and 4 bet with nut flush draw. you can only beat him with aggression on your part.

unless this is a new concept just invented, how do you intend to check raise the flop when you have position heads up and he checks to you? I know i'm old school but i cant be that old school
