Here is my thought process.. May be bad but let me know. This guy has cbet every hand so far and has raised his button quite a bit. A losing player.
I check raise here to see where Im at? I feel most of the time this flop completely misses this guys opening range, so I feel the check raise would be best here? Or do you just flat here to keep the pot small at 10/20 which leads me to my next question
If he flats me what do I do? Do you lead out into a huge pot and almost pot commit yourself or do you just check since he flatted he may be slow playing the Q not likely, I think I can put him on a 9 here alot right? and hes not to sure of his hand if he has the 9 but I think he would be calling/shoving over with a 9 almost all of the time to a cbet after my reraise no?? This is a tricky spot for me and has happened a couple times over the past few days just want to see what you all are thinking here too.
If he has 2 overcards with no draw he still has ~37% against you on this board, if he has a draw then he is in much better shape. Q or 9 is way ahead of course. Thus, I think you are much better off folding against most players.
I think that the only way I'm continuing against a player betting this flop is if they are cbetting their entire range and not capable of firing multiple barrels.
What xSCWx said...pretty much every turn/river card apart from a 5 won't allow you to call another bet. So either you fold, or shove if you know he's cbetting 100% and able to fold a draw. I would strongly favour folding against 90% of opponents.
