So there's a lot more touristy types and rec players in house b/c of a big tourney, or series of tourneys...This means there's tons of action players flooding the normal player pool. From what I've observed over the weekend, games have been much more spewy & bluffy. Many of these players act as if they're at 20bb when really they have 200. I assumed V was one of these tourney donks, a young MAWG in sporty clothes and sport sunglasses. About two orbits in & he seemed to enter about 4 pots thus far, but all have been small and didn't go to showdown.

H opens 1st hand of his session in UTG, $30 AK, folds to V on btn, blinds fold.

Hero $50, V $125, H flats.

H checks, V $225, H?

Call me a nit but I'm just folding to the flop raise. I assume I am OK making an exploitable fold because in my experience players don't just raise for fun vs UTG raisers on AQx flops. Even if it's a bluff, which I think is super unlikely, he's going to have a club at the very least and that eats into our equity. AA, QQ, 77, AQ, AJ/AK/KK with a club and random club hands like JTcc are all in my UTG raising range, so it's not like I'm just mucking my whole range to this raise.

Don't like flop bet at all. Call is worse

exactly this. I hate the flop bet. What are we trying to get value from?

Are we betting just to prevent another club from rolling off?

As played, fold.

Would much rather have a check on the flop and then see what V does.

I'm OK with the bet, would be OK with no bet too. It's a place where you can mix it up. It's OK to have a b/f range here.

Maybe I'm wrong here, but I definitely think a bet is perfectly reasonable to either fold out/ or get called by worse Aces, maybe Aces with club, some pp with clubs, some queen with a club, and maybe the naked King of clubs.

I think I would fold to the raise unless if villain is super bluffy, or super overvaluey.

Plus, I think Villain at this level are going to call much wider than they probably should, given the fact that op said he was a donk.

B/f this flop seems best to me

Do people ever raise flushes here?

Yes people raise small flushes here frequently. They are afraid of the board pairing and a club that makes someone with a single club a bigger flush.
