2/5 venetian
Hero UTG ($580): Newish to table, tight, 20's white, hoodie, eating. Have maybe been there 4 orbits. Took down 1 pot limping UTG AKo in straddled pot, 1 overlimp, SB raises to 45, I make it $150, SB folds, limper folds. Otherwise have had zero hands/action.
V UTG+1 ($1200): Aggro reg, 30ish white beard, likes to pressure on late streets, sat down just after me, hasn't shown down any hands.
H UTG makes it $20 w/ A
K
, V calls UTG+1, CO calls, BUT calls, BB calls. Realized AFTER I bet that the button had the straddle on (headphones on, strong leak).
5 to flop (pot $100)

Hero c-bets $40
V raises to $120, folds around to H who has $520 behind.
Normally I would be trying to get it in OTF here almost every time when 100bb deep but because my line looks fairly weak ($20 raise UTG in a straddled pot, <1/2PSB on flop) I definitely think this V can be attacking my c-bet here very light. Not to mention his raise seems a little on the small side to protect a set. Lets say we range V equally for Air/FD/2pair+.
Qs:
1) Thoughts on leading vs. x/r? Sizing?
2) Is anyone ever flatting here? If so, why? And what is your action OTT for
/non
.
3) How does your action change (if at all) if we were deeper, say 200bb.
4) Is it a leak to take x/r or b/r line in these situations to maximize FE? For instance I took a x/AI line earlier in the night:
H is SB A
5
, V:UTG+2 opens $25, CO calls, BUT calls, H calls, BB calls.

H checks, BB checks, V bets $100, folds to H who raises AI to $400.
