NL50: in which I play a weak tight passive chicken (TP2K)
Villain is new to the table but seemed loose and aggressive postflop (over a tiny sample). We hadn't had any confrontations until now.
This is me trying out a non-standard line for pot control with a good-but-not-great hand. I don't think it worked out very well at all. All comments appreciated, but I'm specifically wondering about how the following alternative lines stack up compared to the line I took: 1) My "standard" line would be to bet say $5.50 on the flop, and (given turn card) probably check/call one normal size bet (on either turn or river) but not two (i.e., fold to a big river bet after calling a turn bet). 2) Given my flop check, Villain's bet looks weak. Should I just c/r to end the hand there (and probably check/fold if called)? 3) Given my check/call on the flop and Villain's weak turn bet, I'm thinking I've underrepped my hand and I should just call down. Anyone like a check/call on all streets?

Villain is loose? There are both straight and flush draws on the flop; I just can't give him a chance at a free card. I don't think you get tricky here, you c-bet.

With a flush draw on the flop you really can't check it to him.
Your standard line would have done much better. |

you cant do this and then fold river.
If you take this line you have to bet the river or at least c/c against an opponent you have pegged as agressive postflop. You clearly have little to no read so just play ABC poker. |
