I've almost decided that I should be folding this preflop, but I'm too much of a set junkie &amp; almost never do. Im not sure that a 10/5 is a guy I attack though, that's closer to rock than TAG, and even on that seemingly innocent flop, I think you are behind an awful lot.

c/r the flop, lead the turn. Safe fold if he 3-bets or raises the turn.

I think this is similar to the last hand you posted. Your leading/3-betting with mediocre holdings to try and assert pressure, when the same pressure can be achieved with a c/r (less bets).

I think your line makes it clear you're beat and clear that you shouldn't fold the turn.

Wow. Great advice - I think this is a very reasonable. c/r to save bets while appling pressure, not to hold opponent on hand. Great!

You do have a smooth 6 outs to improve by the time you get to the turn. I check/fold the flop, but with your line I think Entity is right, you can peel the river.

In heads up pots from the blinds, I generally take one of two lines:

1) 3-bet pre-flop and lead the flop
or
2) Call pre-flop and c/r or c/f the flop.

Oops. In that case, I c/r this flop, lead the turn.

I think check-folding the flop is giving up too early here; villain could easily have AK, AQ, KQ.
