25nl Is this +EV bluff? 3bet pot

[vixticator]

I don't know. How strong can he be c/c'ing flop? Maybe a monster but no way he then proceeds to check two more streets, right? Check turn giving up on hand. Then river puts four to a straight. He checks. Bet?

[hallo!]

those idiots will usually not lay down a Jack, a weak ace, KK and QQ not anyway in this spot after you checked the turn. I would give up and hope he has air. You get called too often to make it + EV imo

[Ekos]

this isnt terrible vs 25nl "regs", but even w/ a read the value of this play at these stakes is still very low

After he calls the flop, no. The flop bet is okay but once he calls I am done

[ShipitFMA]

he only folds KK, and what ama said

[bozzer]

i don't think he folds anything that beats you very often here. maybe KJ or KK but i'd be calling with anything stronger than AQ. on the other hand we have literally 0 s/d equity: i can't find a hand in his likely 3b range that we beat.

flop bet is questionable imo - i'm not sure people c/f after 3bettting enough. but it's almost impossible to resist betting that flop.
