SB ($396)
BB ($428.40)
UTG ($548.90)
Hero ($932.70)
CO ($581.05)
Button ($706.40)

Preflop: Hero is MP with Ac, Kd.
1 fold, Hero raises to $16, CO calls $16, Button raises to $66, 2 folds, Hero calls $50, CO calls $50.

Flop: ($204) Kh, 7h, Td (3 players)
Hero checks, CO checks, Button bets $110, Hero ???

Button is a 18/14 that has a preflop aggression factor of 3.8, I'm positive I've got him beat on the flop but should I be check raising this 3-way with a player to act behind?
CO is a very passive player with a VP$IP of 42, PFR of 4 and a very small preflop aggresion <.1.
This is a very tough spot though right? If I cr to 300 or so I'm basically commiting myself to the pot but flat calling OOP just seems sort of spewy.

I'd 4-bet preflop almost always.

Captain Tom

this is closer to a fold than a raise.

Defo just call here. I think I prefer folding preflop to calling though. As it is, your line on each street depends on how you've been playing and how button views you. Have you been opening a lot of pots? (Increasing the likelihood of him squeezing) etc...

Really? Stacks are just under 200BB's. If I make it 170+ whats my action if I completely miss the flop. Considering your acticle you wrote on c-betting I'm gonna be missing the flop a big % of the time. Lets say the flop comes J92 wtf do I do then in a 4-bet pot out of position. Do I just check fold, theres going to be ~370 in the pot with with effective 550 behind provided cut offs folds.
4-betting here just puts you in a horrible spot most of the time if you come up against any action.

He's extremely aggressive preflop so this could easily be a squeeze. You could have the best hand. He might fold TT/JJ o a 4-bet which is obviously good. I'd generally make it about 180 and fold to any further action.

Id cbet that J92 flop sometimes. Whether or not i'd do that is really game and player dependant.

Yea that's sort of my thinking. Unless the villian checks behind this pot is goingto get very big very quickly, and we don't know much about his hand.

Just what I was thinking. I prefer to lead here. If I meet further resistance, I'm probably done with the hand though.

4bet pf.

I much prefer c/c the flop than leading it.
