Flop: (t7050) T

(2 players)
UTG+1 checks, Hero ???

Bet/fold, shove, or check to induce a bluff on turn, check to fold on turn?

this is a complicated spot for me because of our stack size.

Either b/f the flop or c/c a normal turn bet. Might as well turn your hand into a bluff and c-bet the flop if you just want to fold to villains bet on the turn.

yea check folding the turn would be the worst option, id only c/f to a shove

a flop bet can easily be a value bet or a bluff, the flop is so strange for our hand

Raise more PF maybe to 4200 or so. With 3000 ur giving him ~2.7/1 to call. Its strange to c him raising UTG and then not hitiing the flop. But with only one overcard id usually c-bet the flop and just release the hand if called.

We no have enough chips for that. If I had AK I'd be betting 3600 or so, and that's what I'm betting now. Obv shutting down after that.
