Yes.

should you try to buy this pot on the flop?

No.

Re: $11Party-I\'m the BB and its checked to me.
 

no. he's loose right?

Re: $11Party-I\'m the BB and its checked to me.
 

What's the point of having position if you're not going to use it. Villain checked the flop; loose villains bet any pair here. I have no showdown value here; if I'm going to try to win this pot at all I want to do it on the flop. And I want to win this pot.

and what [pray tell] is Hero's line then? bet t100 at the flop against a loose opponent w/ no pair, no draw, no nothing? what's Hero's move on the turn if he/she is called?

Re: $11Party-I\'m the BB and its checked to me.
 

Fold. What's your point.

Re: $11Party-I\'m the BB and its checked to me.
 

so let me get this right. anytime you have position on some1 and it is checked to you, you bet?

maybe this logic works in a $109 against a typical villian, but against a loose villian in a $11, you're getting called a good percentage of the time. this may work in an $11 against a very weak-tight villian with a strong flop bet.

Almost always.
