88 experiment hand

[kpux]

I have no data in my PT about this opponent. He seems like a boob preflop though.

Good? Bad? Stupid?

I don't like it.

Calling the raise on the flop isn't too bad. 7-to-1 pot odds with middle pair and backdoor flush. (am I wrong?)

Checking the flop may let him also check (if he his making a free card play)

If you do bet the turn, fold to a reraise, pot's not big enough to be tricky here.

It seems like a good card to bluff on, though, as it is a 3-flush and also an overcard. But is it worth it for 4.25BB? (player dependent bluff)

Yeah, that was the plan.

I thought it was worth it, he only has to fold 20% of the time or so. That's really a terrible card for him if he has a Q or 99-JJ

I like it, IF you think you can fold these hands. Without a read that he is a player that is capable of making these folds (and most PP 2/4 players do not fit that description), you are being called down far too frequently. Also, I feel that a large portion of his raising hands that you were ahead of on the flop were killed by that card.
