2nd orbit. no specific reads on villain, but he's playing 50/30 so far and seems bad.

i think he has a big overpair less often than some would in this spot, and has more random junk, so i didn't want to take the betting lead away from him too soon, but needed to get chips in eventually.

line check and sizing comments please.

Lets build that pot vs a fish when we're out of position and min c/r flop.

followed by lead turn, or try to c/r again?

c/r lead lead

If you want to build the pot, why min c/r?

raise pre

you think there're a lot of 4x in his range by the river and would you try to bluff him off it?

Getting called close to all the time.

Right, but the hands he calls a c/minraise but folds to a larger raise, you aren't likely to get him to stack off with anyway.

Thoughts on leading flop so we are guaranteed to get a bet in if we see a turn, rather than relying on someone open limping in EP to stab?

Limpers usually "cbet" against the BB, particularly on a dry flop like this. Depends on how bad he is. Also, you aren't going to make much against hands that he doesn't think are worth a "cbet" anyway.

He's much more likely to min3bet some hands as well.

passive limper?

he limped this time, but he seems like he can click any button at any time.

Passive limper doesn't imply post flop passiveness at all.

So many times we'll make money with our value range is because they r/c TPWK or similar stuff that is overplayed.

Look at post flop aggresion, guys who have < 10% flop raise are v passive.

just lead otf and bomb bomb
i dont like turn...

raise pre is what id have done
then what guth said post

what don't you guys like about the turn? seemed like a great spot to raise to me. his bet sizing looks like he's trying to protect some weak showdown value, and i can rep a flush draw.

I'm in the c/r, lead lead camp.

I like that you bombed river after he calls your c/r on turn, but why not bet more if you are gonna overbet?
