ok tstone, heres a play i do sometimes when im pissed or feeling picked on. just call the flop intending to fold the turn or bet if he checks. works against a lot of players who will check/fold a lot of turns obvioulsy.

the idea is that his range is huge and hes gonna bet any flop. now, on the turn, we are hoping he gives up with his trash which is likely unless hes the type to keep pushing with trash. decent players generally do.

as far as metagame goes, just by calling the flop you will dissuade him from stealing somewhat since he knows you are gonna be seeing 4 cards usually.

many high stakers make this move too.
