Hi guys, long time no see on these forums. Trying to get back to HUSnGs after a break. Starting all the way down on 1.50s and seems like I forgot a lot from when I was still playing actively, so I need to brush up my skills :) First HH:
Not much info about villain here - what do you think about the all in on flop?

Just c/c flop, your getting it in behind everytime you get called. You don't always have to improve to a straight to win, you can fold out his air hands a decent frequency on the river with your busted straight draw the times turn goes check check.
Agreed. I think you are likely to get almost zero folds here, especially at the $1.50s. Also, donking is a pretty strong line from a recreational, especially read-less.
And maybe consider open fold 73o and hands like that.
