Fold pre if you're going to fold to a cbet on that flop. What were you going to continue with? Only broadway on a rainbow board?

Call flop.

Is this a level? You flopped tptk with a hand you could easily have 3b and folded to cbet?

There are not a lot of combos that beat you. For example, if you add up every set and aces (10 combos), that is 2 less hands than just AQ (12 combos).

This is a really good hand to c-bet. So most reasonable players will cbet here almost every time despite being OOP.

I would call the flop, call or check behind on the turn, and proceed on the river depending on how the turn went down. Generally happy getting 2 bets in by the end of the hand.

lol wtf is going on here? Pre's fine and as played turn might be a fold if he double barrels but ffs call the flop nits like that cbet close to if not 100% of the time on this board whether they have QQ/77/whatever. Also him being a nit is good on this board because it's virtually impossible for him to have 2 pair. 1 combo of KK, 3 combos of JJ, idk if a nit like that even opens 66 then you just fold to flop bet? Like seriously you must be running bad because you're seeing monsters under the bed that just aren't there.

edit: oh forgot aces but rest is still true

I think my fold came from the size of the bet...kind of screamed I have a set and wanna stack you. Similar situation came up earlier today and I got stacked by a set of J's. I didn't see the point of calling the flop if I'm going to fold to any 2 barrel from this player.

I agree with everyone else, you pretty much hit one of the best flops for your hand, and you folded to a mere cbet. Fold pre if you are only going to continue when you hit 2p+ on the flop.

Yeah, he could have JJ, KK, AA, but he could also have other underpairs, or AQ-AK. Have you ever thought that this is an amazing flop for him to cbet with any two cards?
