Preflop seems standard. What would you do on this flop, and to the min-bets?

sometimes i c-bet flop. overall it looks fine

[SJT88]

I'd bet the flop, fold to a re-raise.

[gibmamun]

At a 3.40, I would reraise his min bets.

Your opponent looks like he has no idea what he is doing.

c-bet strongly after the flop, a weak bet will only get u more trouble. That bet after a turn (t50) would look me like a feeler bet or a trap, flat call there is good. 2nd bet (t50) after the river, u should have definetly raise for value, just a small amount.

ps! I also appreciate comments on my way of thinkin.


Good luck,
Mario V

Thinking about it, a c-bet does seem like the easiest way to play this flop. If he folds, golden. If anything else, runaway like a little girl. What amount would a raise be here that would make the decision easiest?

[vMario]

600, if he calls it then hes probably trying to trap u with 3rd ace. If he raises, it's an easy fold. As I said before, small bet will show up weakness and gets u more trouble.

Mario,
Let me get this right... You want him to stick over 60% of his stack in, and then fold if he gets raised?

OP,
I think you played it well.. If you c-bet it doesn't need to be the whole pot. I had a QQ hh recently where I hit AA on the flop that I played a little differently if you're interested. (Link)
