I'm not crazy about the flop bet b/c I think we get called like 100% of the time... Raising pf and bloating the pot OOP isn't great too, even tho he's limping super wide.

I don't mind the pf raise. We are crushing and raping his range.

I'm never ever ever betting that flop against a loose passive. Way too drawy, waaaay too often called.

Well I would be more inclined to check the flop if we had position, but actually I don't hate a contibet here.
Should still be profitable since his range is so wide.
Would you guys just give up on the flop if you check?
Seems pretty weak.

Our hand is pretty weak after the flop. We're OOP with nothing but overs, and running straight and flush draws. I might check/call a small bet here, but a c-bet probably will not run this guy off.

We still got a decent ace high hand, he might still only have nothing or just a draw.
I think we can't just give him the initiative.

I agree giving him the initiative kinda sucks here. I mean, if we check he almost has to bet, and then we give up any chance of taking it down on the flop. But that chance was so low in the first place that I think it's worth giving it up to see if we can get a free card and spike an A or Q on the turn. Also, if he's loose but not aggressive, our chances of getting that free card might be pretty good.
