I would just check on the flop because we're only getting folds from small pocket pairs and vs. those hands we have pretty nice equity anyway. Villain might just checkback with those hands and we get a free turn card. On the turn we can check again or make a delayed cbet, we can rep some Tx/JJ pretty well. Or if we think villain is not going to believe our bet on the turn then we can just check again and hope for another free card. We have 10 outs vs. 55 for example which is quite nice. Smallest pocket pairs might not be in villains calling range preflop which makes our cbet worse.

Just my thoughts don't take them too serious. :P

I guess cbet will always be +EV here, but range-wise I also considered putting this into my flop x/calling range. Board hits MP's calling range quite well (AQ/KQs/QQ-TT, maybe even KJs/QJs), so dont expect too many folds anyway.

Hey duder1n0,

I generally think x/c hand is decent here. There aren't too many good turn cards to continue on - much is tainted since A or K on the turn hit our opponents range for calling the flop.

However we still have some equity and don't mind playing the hand against a wider range. If the pot gets checked back and we spike an A or K we feel much more comfortable now playing a 2 street pot.

As played x/f turn is fine imo.
