hi there, i'm a HUNL player, and this spot confuses me a little bit. i realized earlier that he doesn't barrel much so figure the best way to maximize value from draws is to CR here. but how should I proceed against this 3bet? thoughts are appreciated, thanks

You probably shouldn't be check raising this flop without a dynamic.

i) Your value range here includes some very strong raise / calling hands, and a large enough amount that you can't expect him to get very saucy with air trying to rebluff you.

ii) His cbetting range on this flop is very strong. Most players won't cbet this flop with less than AJ.

iii) His cbet/3b range is going to be excessively strong here; expect his worst hand to be AcKc.

Your hand really isn't that strong here. It's hard to explain to a HUNL player, but I guess it's kind of similar to having QT with no bd flush draw while off the button. Your certainly not folding, but your not exactly excited about having alot of action go down.

Nice post. His sizing is a bit transparent too, looks like he begs you to shove.

so what would be the best line here? c/c flop and re evaluate turn?

Is this really true? I'm a winning 50NL reg, and I'm c-betting this flop near 100% of the time (villain dependent).

Not that I necessarily agree with the advice given in that thread, but as a simple counterpoint:

which makes it very nearly even

c/c flop anything else makes no sense

Agreed, but nearly even doesn't justify firing close to 100% of the time. Pretty much any draw will peel your cbet, a made straight might c/c to let you spazz and how do you know where you are on the turn? Is you default line with AK b/f c/f or b/f b/f if you don't improve OTT?
