$50 NLHE Full Ring: Kings tricky spot on a drawy board vs a fish....what line is best here?

hands- 71


I've noticed these sorta spots popin up more than once, and i'm never sure how to play them. If there like a $30 stack I dont mind re raising on the flop and trying to get stacks in there, however when there in the 50 range, I have no clue what to do in this spot, your poker greatness would be appreciated

I always fear the monster under the bed and think he might have a set or some messed up straight.

Why aren't you cbetting?

well to be honest that kinda shows how I played this, I didnt wanna bet and get raised on that board so I check called it down on cards I felt were 'safe'
I think if the fish raises me...I could be against either a set,straight two pair or a draw that could make it....i feel equity is slim but still not sure thats why i'm lookin for guidance.

I meen leading out is fine I guess but I just dont know what to do when i get re raised.

Why? Do you think he is bluff raising with Q2o?

something like b/f c/c c/f

Do you think he can raise Q2o?

well I think I just dont know enough about the player to make that assumption yet.
However its possible of course it just feels like i'm gunna either be re raised by nut or draws and I think if I add that up over time the equity for my hand is gunna be super slim

This is definitely a board where you aren't going to be super thrilled to get stacks in but I would still bet the flop.

What you are saying is you dont think he ever bluffs here.

If you think you are against the nuts or draws then you have about 30-40% equity.

Fold

Definately.

Im only ever worried when raised.

once again great responce, appreciated.

I think it is one of those hands that your' confidence should be high and just bet because so many draws and pairs will pay you, but when you get raised your' confidence should plummet

b/f each street hes a loose passive which means he loves to call just V town him
