50: I get cute with a set in blind battle
 

Villain is a SLAG, 24/17/3 over 70ish hands.
My plan was to be scared of the flop, and then 'bluff' turn weakly after he checked, hoping to induce a rebluff or at least a call with a bluffcatcher.

My standard is to bet bet bet, but I figured I could give this guy some room on such a dry flop. I suspect he has a wider 3b range here than most people, blind vs blind, aggro stats...

This looks like a good play, although I'm surprised villain didn't bet the flop.

Looks OK, just hope he didn't get lucky and have a set of K's...

Looks good to me too although villain checking through on the flop is kinda odd...it isn't a really scary board and would be a pretty standard c-bet regardless of what he has. Could be a slowplayed set of K's but I still think your line is fine.

Whats your plan if he calls turn and river bricks? What if he raises turn?
