Middle-pair, what is the plan?

A raise only seems nice if we think we have high FE. What do you see him bet/folding here?

Our hand has almost 0 hand equity going past flop so we need a lot of FE to make this profitable.

He looks aggro, so he can cbet with almost any2. But the doesnt cbet 100%, so I guess he has to have something. His WTS isnt too high tough.
Well, folding is weak, calling is bad, the raise is the only choice that remains I think.

Well folding may seem weak. However when calling is a bad option and raising, a fish, is also not a great option we just have to choose the least bad option.

Do you really want to raise 77 on this board, as a bluff, versus a big fish (potentially aggro)?

Our skill advantage and value, against these players, comes from value betting not bluffing with little equity.

So, the best line would be to call the flop, and bet checked turn and take the pot away? If villain 2barrels, it`s fold ofc.

Sorry I didn't make this clear enough in the previous post.

What I meant to say is that I don't like either calling or raising so I would fold

It's the "least bad" option in my eyes.

Would you consider floating on the K62r as he c-bets a lot?

Would you advise to raise his CB on K62r as a bluff, if his 2-barrel stat would be high (~70%)? Or just to call him down?

Calling would be a better option in a spot like that and if he barrels multiple streets with a wide range we will be ahead of a lot of his range.

As an exercise take a sample opponent, plug in his preflop range, then narrow down the range by streets and see how we do versus it and what his range distribution is.
