Sunglasses-

As others have mentioned, there are lots of different ways to play this one, and you should pick one that is appropriate for this particular opponent. Sometimes you are trying to trap a bluffer, sometimes you are trying to get a calling station to pay you with his top pair.

One thing that has not been mentioned- I might make a slightly bigger raise preflop. A full pot bet, for example, would be $130. Make them pay to have position on you for the rest of the hand. If you raise less, they have better implied odds and can call with a greater range of hands (which makes the later streets tougher).

Also, on the flop, betting close to pot is certainly not mandatory. Checking and betting less are also possible. The most important thing is to have a plan of attack that is consistent with the opponent.

A couple examples:

1. If he is a maniac, maybe you bet the flop, hoping he calls (or raises). Then you check the turn to show weakness, planning to call down for the rest of your stack.

2. If he is tricky, maybe you check the flop to keep the pot smaller. The hand could go a variety of ways from here, but maybe you want to let him make tke first move and get a little closer to the showdown.

This is all pretty vague, but you want to be thinking about the whole situation, not just "shoot, he called my flop bet, now what?"
