Reads:
Villain was unknown. I've been new to the table and had only seen one hand, where he limped KTo late, called two bets with absolutely zilch on a lowcard board, to scoop a ten on the river and win. So that looked donkish, but this was a small pot. I don't have any stats or more of a read.
Pre:
I try to collect the dead money and hope to take the pot down right away. My thinking is that a raise from the SB looks pretty strong here when only UTG can have a real hand. I am prepared to let it go if UTG pushes or be very careful if he calls.
Flop:
With Villain in CO calling I put him on some PP most of the time, maybe some suited stuff. So do I c-bet? My thinking was that even if he likes to call a lot (as indicated in the one hand I saw), he will have a harder time when the pot gets bigger. I am still repping a monster, so he should fold anything but a set.
Probably this is all standard and I just fold now and go on. But I am curious if I did something stupid.
