V checks, Hero ??
I usually don't like to cbet in >3 way pots but factors that are tempting me to bet here are:
a) Board is pretty dry and Hero has a tight, winning image and Vs will peg him on overpairs.
b) CO is probably an ABC fish on tilt who will play fit/fold.
c) BTN has mostly got PPs upto QQ and AK/AQ probably and is absolutely folding anything but QQ/sets here, therefore again fit/fold.
The only reason I'm worried about cbetting is V in SB who is a crazy thinking super LAGGY 25-year old guy in a hoodie who is capable of floating, checkraising/peeling very light, taking away the pots on overcards and doing all sorts of things.
The first hand I sat down on the table I picked up AA, some rec in MP ($125) raised to $12, V ($170) called in CO, Hero ($300) made it $40 in BB, OR called unwillingly and V insta-shoved 95ss for $170 into both of us thinking I must be FOS. And I won. So he's very LAGGY and capable of making moves. He must be itching to play back at me. He's caught great hands in last 15 mins and is up to $550 because nobody believes him.
Should we cbet given such an opponent exists in the hand? I'm pretty sure that if I don't cbet here and the flop checks through, he will fire his entire range OTT and take it away. It's also possible he may just c/f his garbage hands given how I showed up with AA last time.
