Is this like the first "write your name for 1 point" question on exams? Bet.

Which limper do you expect to bet? The guy that posted in mp1? MP2 who just called a random hand when he could have raised and possibly isolated?

You can't really "protect" your hand here so you just have to bet.

Say a bad player call 2 cold on flop with a flush draw, he then has even better odds on the turn to call and implied will be there too knowing your hand strength.

Bet here 100% of the time. Slowplaying at low limits is never worthwhile, especially when the aggression is you

that may be true but its still best to cut down his odds where possible. forcing a flush draw to call 2 cold is better than letting the flush draw call 1 bet. I get double my equity while i'm ahead. Hypothetically, if its just me vs. a FD then I'd rather get 65% of 2 bets than 65% of 1 bet.

I can see your points. BUT, what if flop gets checked through? How bad would that be? Doesn't it appear a bit fishy that the PFR is checking the flop? I think often the flop gets checked through when PFR does this.

I'd rather just put the pedal on than have more people see the turn here. When you bet the flop, they will likely put on a pretty strong hand so I think the weak ones might fold if not on the turn.

I'm having a hard time seeing us protect our hand much on the flop by slowplaying, and bad things could happen, like bet/raise behind us where we lose control of the hand or lose information about their holdings.

From my experience, when the pot gets bigger and we have a strong (1 pair) but not very strong hand (set or better), we should try to win the pot asap. Thus my thinking to bet the flop here.
