Villain is The Milosh, 40/16 over a couple thou, loose/bad/whatever. No history, and he called preflop really quickly fwiw.

um, obv. don't fold? I prob. just shove in these spots, although checking to induce the inevitable bone-headed bluff might be better.

What's his bet flop% and his aggression factor?

Flop AF is 2.5, goes to SD 22% of the time.

I'd probably just bet around 1/2 pot and call a shove.

This is probably the worst thing you can do.

If his range looks like all PPs, a few Qx hands, some Ax, and some whiffs (JT etc) pokerstove might help you out but I'd guess he calls all PPs and queens, folds all whiffs and prob Ax as well (?) suggesting shove is -EV, bet/call and c/c suck c/c, and c/r seem silly so c/f?

that said i probably swear at him and shove

I prefer to c/shove in these situations.

I`m not folding AK for 25BBs total on a 22Q flop, but I would rather give them a chance to bluff than let them fold hands like Ax, Kx etc . If he has a pair you still got 26% equity in the hand.

Against a passive player I`m much more likely to just bet the flop committing myself to the hand

c/r works, shove is nice too to avoid lame spots when he doesnt bet

I don't like shove. Check is best. C/R shove is sexy.
