Are we cbetting with our gutshot or check-folding here? Figure he's going to pretty much always shove if we check.

We're ahead of some club draws and random air that he decides to station us with. Can fold out plenty of decent equity hands but when we do get called I don't think we're good very often. Plus this guy is looking like a fish so we're going to be called here plenty.

Flop smacks my range though, if this fish is thinking about ranges. Cbet or check/fold? (or check-call to keep his air in?).

Hero (SB): 103.9 BB
BB: 291.8 BB (VPIP: 60.00, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 5)
UTG: 94 BB (VPIP: 10.20, PFR: 6.12, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 52)
CO: 100 BB (VPIP: 27.94, PFR: 25.00, 3Bet Preflop: 15.79, Hands: 69)
BTN: 28.5 BB (VPIP: 80.00, PFR: 20.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 5)

Hero posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has K T

fold, CO raises to 3 BB, BTN calls 3 BB, Hero raises to 10 BB, fold, fold, BTN calls 7 BB

Flop: (24 BB, 2 players) A Q 8

I fold pre. Too often the short stack will just shove, and any flop you've got a pot-sized bet left so it puts you in awkward situations like this.

Not a great spot to squeeze given who BTN is imo, as played I would just c/f flop.
