Preflop Villain is unknown, I decided call > 3bet > fold had the most EV.
On the flop there is no other line than c/c i guess. No the Turn brings some more gutshots, and he might take a freecard.
Here I thought bet/fold > c/c because when checking I'm giving him the opportunity to 3barrel bluff me if he is on a busted onecard flushdraw like ATxs or A9xs or random JJs type stuff. I guess b/f is somewhat exploitive but my betting range here will be on the topend of my range twopairs, good Toppairs, 79s, sets and never draws. He will often call the turn and checkback the river (is that a fair assumption) when missing his draws, or make a badly sized bet and else bet large if he hits on the 4 flush boards where I have an easy decision.
It's kind of a fancy play. What do you think?
