Your right you are going to have to play with MLG at some point and you would prefer to play him in position.

I'm not real sure though what your trying to acomplish with the flop bet. There are very few times when he is going to lay this down on the flop and I also think your building a big pot with an aggressive player that will have no problem risking all of his chips in this spot. What do you do here if he calls and then pushes the turn?

A check behind on the flop is fine. If the turn brings an A,K or total blank (2-8) I would re-raise his normal turn bet and call a smallish turn bet.

If the river blanks as well I think you will probably see a check on the river or a smallish value bet if he has something.
