goofball question. I said bad flop, bet.

I want the testmaker to define "bad flop". It's bad to me because the J or 9 is likely to have given him a pair or draw. It's low enough that he's likely to suspect it missed us. It's a pretty good flop to cbet, though, and we'll probably pick up the pot.

I also bet to "protect" my hand and promote calls on future flop bets, but I think there's a higher-than-usual chance he's calling or checkraising and I'm going to have to let go. If I knew how to float, maybe I'd try that instead. Checking behind might really be better, since I have some chance to improve, so a free card helps me, maybe more than him.
