Hi guys! I have encountered this situation many times. I 3 bet from SB a big fish 54/28/14 opening 68% from BTN but very spewy and overvalues his hands . ( I could have just flatted, but in case I have ds AA in the same spot, the question is the same) and on this flop I can cbet, but i will get a lot of calls, then i will have to cf on 5,6,7,9,T,Q. (Maybe Q not. ) So I wont like may of the turns. check folding is WAY too weak imo.(overp, 2BDFD, strght blocker, some BDstraight draw) But check calling leads me into this: He pots flop pots turn and I wont be able to stand the heat. So maybe cbetting seems best, however when i get called and I check the turn and he pots, the result is the same. I have seen Phil Galfond check folding with similar hands on similar borad textures, but is this the good way to play it at these stakes? What do you think?
