Default Situation I struggle with

villain is 55/3/0.66

Should I bother betting the flop?
I have no hand and no odds to draw.
The guy has a high VPIP, but he coldcalled so unless he holds sooted K rags, he has a better hand.
He'll never fold a PP, A-high, with a better K-high he will peel, and I'm OOP.

Party Poker 3/6 Hold'em (6 max, 5 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is MP with T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Button calls, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>.

Flop: (5.33 SB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises</font>, Hero folds.

Final Pot: 4.16 BB

I still bet the flop for all the other times I bet with nothing, or bet with my flopped set of Aces, etc. I don't like folding the same round in which I bet, but I don't think you have much choice here. Well played.

I consider this a must bet. You are ahead about half the time and can take down the pot with little investment. Some guys with those kinds of stats cold call with 93s.
