Hi,

so I believe that this is really hard to continue even IP.
It could be a bluff, especially given the blind steal situation, but do I want to find out?
So in these situations, is it better to check?
If so what is the strategy on the turn and river?

Bet flop higher, it's very draw heavy.
As played it's interesting as you may be inducing him to c/r with your to small bet, although maybe this stake it is more unlikely. I think a fold is fine.

I don't like betting flop with non vulnerable showdown hands. I'd like to give free card to villain and call a bet on the turn.

Depends on read but I probably call a bit unless T or J or spade comes. Seems bluffy to me cuz you induced him with small bet. Beting small is ok imho, but you need to be prepared for reaction to small bets..

I would prefer checking back. You have a good showdown value but you definitely dont have 3 streets of value. He shouldnt have much value himself. All the monsters on this flop 3bet preflop.

I am not concerned about his possible draws. If something gets there and he starts to be aggressive just let it go. So I would go for a check back flop and then call turn and river depending on the runout and his sizing. Or bet turn and then river small.

If you bet on the flop I would just fold to his raise. If he just called I would go for a check back turn and call river. Classic pot control line of bet/check/call.

its 1/2 cbet on the flop - why would you say villian has been induced? I dont see any induce here.

You may call the flop and re-evaluate the turn but vs 58BB villian it would be hard to play postflop i he continues the aggression.

I would just muck on the flop and move on.
