Final Board: K T 7
Hero mucked A T and lost (-$0.48 net)
MP mucked and won $0.95 ($0.47 net)

this is a really common spot and i never really look into it too much. to cbet or not to cbet?

my thinking is that he can call with lots of draws and since he limp/calls pre, i expect him to be a fairly weak player so he can call down fairly light maybe even worse pairs. not really thinking about the raise here, but as a rule of thumb do you think in this sort of spot it's best to bet/fold one or 2 streets when OOP? and IP maybe check back and play turns and rivers?

Hello,

Preflop is good.

I'd definitely bet the flop here. Quite a lot of draws here to get value from, also worse made hands as well and when I bet here my plan will be to bet the turn as well (unless it's a bad card such as J/Q/club).

In addition, if we check here we might have a hard time if he bets.

Once he raises folding is fine.

Best,
Plamen

thanks. that's what i thought, and i wasn't sure about the future streets since if i bet this flop and get called and then check the turn, i expect villain to bet his entire range IP from total air, draws and nuts. but at the same time i always thought if i bet flop and turn i will mainly be called by better hands (some draws too, but not enough to make it profitable). i'll start thinking more about this sort of spot.
