top pair monotone flop NLSNG

[dboy23]

$11 turbo.

100 has been his standard cbet size. I dont have many outs to improve if behind where he has a ton.

do you have a general read about how aggro he is? i like the c/r if he's been cbetting 75%+ and i think the call is good as well.
depending on what he shows down, consider leading the flop in similar situations in the future (assuming you played him again)

[dboy23]

so far he has cbet 100%, only about 10 hands to go by.

leading seems good here actually.

[ChicagoRy]

I like a lead here too I think, but I don't see any problem with your play given reads.

What about second barrel. Has he fired here often? What is your impression of him. Donk? Decent player? Often I just call here, hoping for a safe turn. If he has a hand like Adx your just a slight favourite. If a diamond, ace or king falls on the turn you can often safely fold turn if he fires another barrel unless he is really agressive. If the turn is safe I would either lead out big if he is not that aggressive, or check-push if he is aggressive.

I can think of 2 lines on the flop that are far superior to yours: bet/fold or check/call. Which one I'd do depends on the opponent; aggressiveness inclines me toward the latter option. Check-raising here is terrible IMO, you are committing yourself essentially in the dark.

I think this is a clear a bet/fold regardless of how aggressive villain is I dont think hes likely to take pot shots at this board often if he is that crazy Id prefer bet/3bet.

agree.

[Raiseren1]

Cwar is right. Generally Check-raise is very bad with mediocore hands because your commiting your self with a weakish holding oop.
