We flop the nuts against one of the better players on the site. Just looking for ideal post flop strategy here. Previous in the session, the vil had called a few times after I had isolated the fish, and then called when I bet the flop, then bet the turn and I folded. So, I felt he definitely had some floats in his range. That being said, my default was to bet the flop, and then check the turn and let him bluff. But then what? A check raise? That would seem too aggressive vs this player. Also considering, I've almost never managed to get even 2 streets of value vs this reg.

This isn't a hand I'd ISO pre with from the sb

V in the hand isn't a good player, be's playing 72/1 lol..

Bet the flop, don't overthink it

I agree with you but he's a bit better than 72/1.

I’d just bet against what looks like your average passive micro regfish

Maybe I missed the sarcasm, for OPs sake I hope I did

Starts with betting.

The 72/1 guy limp/folded. We're facing the BB.

OP, bet flop. Turn's whatever. I bet sometimes and x sometimes. Flip a coin.

Ah my bad, sorry op

check raising as a default but betting is fine especially vs a passive one

From villians stats he looks more on the passive side but could do with more stats. Just bet bet bet.

Also if he's never calling your value bets start bluffing more.

Preflop i think we can just complete given we are in small blind. Think ISOing the 72/1 IP would be fine

Bet, bet, bet and add some bluffs when you are in hands with V, just don't over do it.
