On the flop, we can turn this into a lead when it is a limped pot and heads up. I don’t mind the check either, but betting and taking this down right away is a win for us.
On the turn, after our opponent checks back the flop. I’m almost always leading here and choosing a relatively large sizing. 1000 seems about right. If opponent raises us to 3500, I’m going to make a decision based on how i view this opponent. If its someone I know can put pressure on, I will always call here. If it someone that plays very straight-forward, its an easy fold. Against an unknown opponent, I lean towards calling and hoping to see a good river card.
By taking this line they are representing a hand like 87/65/45/44/66/55. All those have either very few combos, or we block their likelihood (except the 87). And depending on the opponent, a lot don’t go to 3.5x with these hands. It would be a very polarized raise.
If we instead decided to check, calling any bet they make is always the decision.
