$50/$100 Ante $25 No Limit Holdem
6 Players

Zyph is a fish, down a bunch according to PTR. It's been a few orbits and haven't seen him do anything real wild yet. HUD shows him as running 40/20ish with a 5% 3b
Halo is a good reg who I haven't played much with so I don't know too much about his game.

Stacks:
UTG Zyph ($21,986)
UTG+1 Halo ($27,938)
CO ($25,089)
BTN ($11,447)
SB Hero ($10,125)
BB ($11,072)

Pre-Flop: ($300, 6 players) Hero is SB

Zyph raises to $300, Halo calls $300,2 folds, Hero raises to $1,500,1 fold, Zyph calls $1,200, Halo calls $1,200

Flop:

($4,750, 3 players)
Hero checks, Zyph checks, Halo checks

Turn:

($4,750, 3 players)
Hero?

Also what is your plan for rivers?

probably just bet 1750. There are a lot of ways it can play out after that so I don't really have a plan. It will be easy if the fish calls, cause you can shove most rivers. If halo calls, I'm not really sure. I think betting like 1222 on the flop would probably have been best.

just bet the flop 1750 and make a decision if jammed on. the call/fold decision is near neutral ev imo when jammed on, but the only mistake you can make in this hand is not betting flop. as played bet/mostly call turn and jam river

I got more flava than fruitstripe gum

Also, what is your cut off hand where you would start leaning more towards checking than betting on this board?
