i'd prob make it ~$68-72 pf cos you have a little more than 100bb behind with Co, c/f flop although it prob gets checked through alot.

I think leading out is very marginal or even slightly -EV.
I still do it a time or two.

Original bettor might have a biggish pair and button might've been fishing for set.
If you fire it up slightly (~2/3 pot cause you gotta be able to get away "cheap") you can insta-shutdown when any resistance occurs.

Then again if original raiser has an ace and button has megadraw, you find out that right away and don't have to invest any more chips.

By checking this flop you allow either of these guys to fire it up, even with air, and you're forced to lay down the best hand.

Preflop is fine. The flop is very villain dependent. Especially button. If you think CO can fire here with lower pair to take it away but isn't capable of bluffraising, I would just fire the flop and fold to any resistance. It's very unlikely button has an Ace.

I'll be the first to say that I don't really like my play because it's the very standard donkish "bet to see where you're at" type of thinking.

And no, this is not a "why not do that with 38o then" type of situation.

pre is fine, ur situation on the flop sucks, all ur options are bad but probably with 2 people and the flush draw u have to c/f
