Juicy latenight $1/$2 game. A lot of $500-$1200 stacks

V is an tight ABC player. Knows how to fold. Respects hero.

Sb and bb have $200 each.

Urg limps ($500), V($700) raises to $10 in EMP, bunch of callers, hero calls 6

on button, Sb bb and whole world calls 7 to flop.

($64.50) flop: Q

Checked to V who bets $20, folded to hero who?

*this bet size from V means he has a flush draw, underpair, or trip queens.

If your read is bang on then you could raise and try to get him to continue with poor odds on his draw... I prefer a fold though. I think anything else is a bit fps. Why would a tight ABC player bet into a multiway pot with that range? Seems more like a bet to induce said fps?

Also your stack size is relevant.

Just fold, man. Nothing good can come from doing anything else.

Also, fold or 3-bet pre.

Heros stack size does matter but I am not folding this flop in position heads up unless I have a read that bets of this size are monsters from this opponent.
Call flop and ABC villains actions on turn will tell us exactly what he has and allow us to steal the pot a lot of the time.

Idk. I get we have the button but I still think the fact that we whiff mostly plus a bunch of RIO scenarios makes calling still -EV. I don't hate it if we have decent post flop skill.

3-bet may fold out or iso an ABC player that respects us when we have a disguised hand.
