I bet/call flop to get guttors with a T to fold (the ones that don't hit you) and a weak pair to fold

Not so scared of pockets 3s or 8s cuz majority don't open/call preflop. Not so scared of QQ cuz only 2 Q's left in the deck with your blocker. Therefore we rarely crushed if we bet/call. I wonder what Ribbo thinks though

$45 left on the flop, but in position. If we bet this flop we allow our opponent to checkraise all in, which means no more tough decisions for him on the turn or river.

What we have on the flop is basically the bottom of our range here. We're repping a big pair, a double paired hand (like JJTT) or some strong rundown when we 3 bet preflop.

I like to bet my strong hands on the flop and also my bluffs, but hands like this where we have showdown equity on dry flops I don't mind checking it back at all. The main issue is that getting checkraised really sucks for us but we can easily snap call any turn bet since we induce a lot of bluffs with the flop check.

One positive argument to betting this flop is that we have no backdoor flush draws so the turn situation wont improve for us that much.

The turn itself is a lot harder to play despite having the nuts. It's clear that villain is going to donk in to us with hands like flush draws (where he has at least a pair or a straight draw as well), a set also has to donk in to us because of the broadway straight draw and flush draw showing.

So with all that in mind villain's range is wide enough that I agree with your turn raise (because it puts you all in). If you were 50 bets deeper I would say call the turn and let villain barrel off in to you on the river because your redraw isn't that strong).

I would bet this flop with hands like AA/KK/QQ/JJ/TT (strong hands or bluffs) etc but check it back with hands like AKQJ / JT98 / T986 where I can improve but getting checkraised would have me crushed.
