Unknown villain, no stats.

1. Flatting PF fine?
2. C/R on flop fine?
3. Do we bet turn? If yes, how much?

I don't do this enough, but I think this might be a good spot for a flop donkbet, since it's 3-handed and worse hands that will call/raise are out there. I think the check raise kills your action too much, although I guess it didn't here. Preflop is fine and postflop should be whatever line gets the most money in.

my first response was to c/r. Then I read venetian's response. I kinda like the idea of the donk bet b/c when villian has AQ/AJ/AT he probably will feel inclined to raise you and then we can get the chips in faster this way. Still, against a random, I think regardless of our action (c/r vs donkbet), most of time we get in on the flop as a huge favorite. As played, I think we can just put it in. Villians flop call turns his hand face up imo. (ugh just noticed it was the limper who lead/called) I still put it in but kinda shrug off 67 hands b/c overtime they have Ax.

I'd like to add that a donk-bet wouldn't scare weaker Aces but a check-raise and lead turn might.. I also like the lead at the flop.. You can even get a raise and you can move in..

Now you have to bet the turn and your hand looks very strong..

Even when I have a set I only check raise or check call if I think the opponents miss the flop to get c-bets.. Here I think most of the time he has an Ace so I lead out..
