What % does villian call cbet on the flop? If he is soooooooper passive i check here, bc some villians will float 80%. If he is folding a reasonable amount, i cbet Axx flops near 100% of the time.

Bet, youve represented strength PF, and with with that ace on the board you can represent a big hand like AK/AQ, if you get called..re-evaluate

raise more pf as a rule, usually -- but since you only have 1/2 a stack it doesn't matter as much here.

Cbet and go from there, usually chk folding...

get a full stack and go play a table with more money (well, there is fishy... if he's that fishy.)

i think its really bad to check the flop here against a station. he's going to call you with lots of hands worse than 88, right? right, so its a value bet, and i'm not concerned that much with whether or not i take down the pot there.
