Re: Blind steal turns into marginal hand

I think you played it fine. So funny how people think there's only one correct way to play a hand. Mixing it up is often necessary, especially against tricky opponents.
Taking this line will turn out to be the best play if he ends up betting away 1/4 of his chips with low PP or worse 8 thinking he is ahead.

There is a right way to play a hand and it's measured by EV. C-betting that flop is +EV because he folds a large portion of the time. We got lucky because if villain didn't hit the flop, the turn or river didn't help him either. He also bet out about 1/2 of his chips when we have no idea where we stand. Betting the flop is +EV and checking w/ the intention of calling every street I'm pretty sure is -EV w/ some reasonable hand ranges post flop. I'm at work so I can't stove it.
