imo c/r is too strong of a play. he had a weak pf bet so he may not even cbet. i just bet here and hope to get raised

I dont like low pps from ep early in sngs, you're lucky he only raises to 60.

Fold pf.

DON'T DO THAT!

There's a lot of draws on this board. Had any villian had any of them you would have been giving them superb odds to call. Your c/r plan is better than building a pot well within their odds on a drawy flop like this. Bet hard, and just accept the chips the pot has in them at the time.
