Flop decision #2

UTG is 58/0/0.39. He's really awful. He chases with every crap and occasionally bluffs the river if checked to.
I haven't seen him C/R-ing so far.

About the coldcaller I don't know anything about he just sat down.

You can't check it through. At least try to win the hand. Even awful chasers sometimes fold. I'd bet fold the turn as well.

This might be one of those rare cases where you should check after raising PF 3 handed.

Sorry, I didn't see that button cold called. You still have odds to fire one out. So many times, you auto bet the flop doubting very much that everyone will fold and lo and behold - they all do.

Invest the bet now and learn something about the button. If he folds get to showdown cheaply (assuming you don't get c/r'd). If he calls evaluate the turn and procede from there. I might fire away at a blank, and check/fold another paint or club.

It just seems like this flop is going to give the coldcaller something to call(or raise) with too often, and we know the other guy is calling with almost anything. Even though we might have the best hand now I think they both call too often so we'll either get pushed out or drawn out since we're not firing again on the turn UI against 2 players.
