Sorry, no reads on this villian.

Push or wait for his bluff?

I'll usually just shove, but I'd never check. He'll "put you on AK" like always.

If I don't shove I bet t325ish.

this is kind of read dependent for me just based on how likely the villani is to call different bets. often id make it 350-400 pf and shove any flop. if someone is calling 300 pf theyre certainly going to call 350 pf at this level also, so bet as much as you can. the important thing is to note your stack at the beggining of the hand. what is going to make getting it in on the flop and getting called most likely?

my default as played probably doesnt much matter. if you bet something like 500 here and leave yourself a bit behind as opposed to slightly overpotting all in....meh, against an opponent more likely to look you up just shove. if you think you can maximize by not going all in against this guy, just leave yourself some money behind as a formality to get his chips.

shoving is never bad here btw, checking is usually bad without a read.

PF is fine. just shove here

Your stack is kind of awkward to c-bet. You might telegraph your hand too much. I would just shove.

[hantori]

Make a weak tight bet of about 300 and then just shove the turn.

[faarcyde]

I would just shove in this situation. His calling range is QT/KT/AT/JJ/QQ and maybe even 99 or JT if he thinks you are bluffing. No reason to make it difficult on the turn when a flush comes - you will only have four to six hundred behind anyway so just jam.

betting half the pot or shoing both are ok.
