I think the best semi-bluff line here is to raise the flop, and hope he 3 bets. If he does, just call. He'll lead the turn, raise regardless of the card. This simple stop and go looks a lot like AA or KK. Capping the flop may be correct, but it looks more like AKs with two overs and a flush draw then it does anything else.

wait for the turn and raise him then.

Yes. And if he 3-bets, call and raise the turn.

He doesn't have much and you just have to convince him that his not much is not going to be good enough.

Yeah, Paluka this line rules. Although I think it's gonna be hard for this guy to put you on a flush draw, but it does seem that the only hand people cap on the flop these days are flush draws. I guess it would require actually playing poker to do any differently.

His hand is probably pretty weak (maybe 90%) or pretty darn strong (10%), something like that. I think this guy wants to get to the river as cheaply as he can. I've got him on something like AJ or 33.

of course since it's live there is no cap.

Get as many bets as possible in on the flop. Bet the turn if checked to or pop it again if he bets. If he does take you as nervous about taking a shot he could be trying to push you around with just about anything. Even if he's well ahead you've got a lot of the deck on your side with two cards to come. For the record even if I played against this guy a lot and he repected my play I would probably play the hand out this way... the raise, first in, with a less than premium hand is more of a variance play anyway so I would play it out whether I hit or not.

when and where do you play in this game?

If youre plan is to raise the turn, you will likely have more bluffing equity there if an A,K,Q come off. He may check fold if an ace comes off, and if he bets into an ace or king and you raise, may believe you called with AK/AQ/AJ and were calling him on the flop.
