Only read is that co is playing only 1-table.No reads on bb.

Should I lead the flop?

Fold to bet?

I have two different approaches to this neither of which are probably optimal lol..

1. Bet 400ish to stop a bluff and hopefully scoop the 750 pot. If villan calls here we know we are probably beaten... we can shut down.

2. Check flop & call down any small bet hopefully giving villan a chance to bluff.

Most of the time I will go with option 1 but if villan likes to bluff or is v.aggressive I might go with option 2. Of course you can just fold the flop bet since we still have 18BB's left which is loads.

Bleh, I probably just check/fold unless I'm faced with a very small bet. Creative title btw.

I think c/f vs two opponents is fine here with 16 BBs left.

Open fold the flop. That way you avoid the situation you find yourself in here. If you call, villain has AK, if you check/raise, he has KT, if you push he has KK, but if you fold he has AQ.

Let the girls go.
Against 1 villian it would be not that big of a deal, but against 2 callers it's not unlikely someones got KTs+, since both have a nice stack to play poker with.
If the CO is decent he should know that this flop could hit both of you and so betting into you is either pretty damn aggressive or for value.
