i dont raise here much preflop but there was kind of an ante so i did. his range is so wide i couldnt decide on my best turn action...the pot got big pretty fast so i dont want to have to bet then fold, but not betting seems bad.

im assuming he sucks because he posted the BB and SB in MP

also keep in mind, the goal is to stack lukie, who folded his blind. if i play this over aggro it might help my chances vs him.

What's wrong with bet/fold 100$? He's probably not aggro enough for a river bluff.

I think b/f is the only way to go here against an unknown (probable donk). I think the likelyhood he will c/r as a bluff or semi-bluff is very low here.
