I'd raise most of the times. About 400.

OK....I think I got the message....Leak #1 out of 1230830295 plugged...

Now assuming it folds around after hero flats...

On dry flops smaller than J, villain bets, hero???

On dry flops with one over, villain bets, hero???

I'm thinking if villain is taking an aggro line, both of the above scenarios are call flop, eval/fold turn if villain fires barrel #2 (is this getting owned by AK/AQ)?

on turn brick if he checks we can bet fold

It folded around. I 3balled, he jammed and I sigh called.

Just checking for an alternate line and how I could not go broke against a hand like say ..... KK.

like when I flat pre which I do pretty much all the time unless I have a reason to get it in pre then I am peeling pretty much every flop depending on the number of players to the flop the board texture and the size of the c-bet. Villains who go 5x pre tend, imo to play pretty face up post
