Can’t believe ppl advise betting here. This flop missed him by a mile & he’s probably drawing to runner runner. No need to try to be clever, just check it & hope he makes a move. If he's prepared to bluff re-raise you all-in then you'll get there just as easily by checking.

don't listen to this guy. checking won't get your money in. bet the 35$, if villain wants to bluff raise you he'll do it. the money isn't going to get in by itself.

Look, he has been stealing Ice's BB every single round. He knows full well Ice will re-raise him. he doesn't need a big hand to call here. Hands range is probably:

60% Big unpaired cards - betting will just get him to fold, checking may get him to bluff or he may hit one of his cards on the turn - checking is better

15% Small pairs - he called to hit his set & will again likely fold to ice's c-bet but may bet if checked to - checking is better

15% Overpairs - he thinks he's gold, all the money is going in whether you check or bet - doesn't matter

10% Complete trash - he folds when you bet, may bet if you check or hit something on the turn - checking is better


This is $1/2NL. He is most likely a moron. He is most likely to do something stupid if you check. He will most likely fold if you bet.
