pre flop fine

I hate the flop bet, everyone is checking QT to the crazy guy.

Turn I guess you got what you wanted so continue, you're beat 100% vs a sane opp but if don't want to put more in vs crazy the flop bet is even worse.

Thanks guys, I've been trying to look at spots to go for more thinnish value/protection.

I see what you mean about the flop bet drmcboy, obviously was folding to a raise from anyone but you're right that everyone will be checking the nuts to the pfr.

So I should just be content to not get value on the flop and hope to get value on blank turns and rivers. I'm still struggling to get out of the hold 'em mindset here. And this also works better because people who may have folded a worse 2pr to a flop bet may think their hand is good or people can make worse 2pr and pay me off. Mind-blowing stuff.

top two is an OK hand, anything worse is bluff catching on this (and most) boards. don't worry about value, worry about getting owned. even filling isn't very good here.
