NL10 - TPTK + gutshot 250BB deep, RR pot

[yasher]

I got my stack by felting AA vs an aggro donk on a relatively scary board, but I've only been here a few orbits. CO had his stack when I sat down, and I've got him at 26/8.7/0.74 over a hundred hands or so. No reads - still gettin this note taking/read making thing down.

I haven't gotten to play 200+ BB deep very often, so I'm not quite sure about this hand. I've gotta bet this flop, but I recall being quite confused about what I was going to do if he came over the top of me. I realize this is NL10 and they canhave anything here, but this board is ugly, and I've only got a 4 out redraw if I'm behind.

Am I supposed to be happy stacking off on a flop like this with TPTK?

Not on this flop you shouldn't stack off, not this deep. Too many hands could have hit to just stick it in, but obv. the flop bet is correct. If raised, i probly cry and fold, he's not very aggro and ppl are straight forward in 3bet pots mostly. 2pair + straights are abundant.

bet/fold is fine.

[yasher]

So, bet/fold is standard here without a read? Thanks for the input!

[Perk76]

Betting this hand should be standard. You also will get to see the showdown if you have to bet/fold since SB is short and should almost call with A2C. This should help keep CO somewhat honest as well. His post flop aggression is fairly low, so if he comes to life your one pair is not gonna be good.

you are betting too much on the flop, if the pot has already been 3 bet before the flop. i am more inclined to bet less than a regular C bet.
as played, i bet 3.5 - 4
