 He'll call pf raises with A3o and c/c A high 3 flush boards. Will also fire random bets. So is this line OK? Is my hand weak enough that I need to protect against a free river card, or should I try to pick off a bluff?

I'm positive my hand is good on the flop, I doubt the K helped. Am I over thinking 50NL?

 unless he'll make huge bet bluffs, this is a fine line.

Standard. Keeping showing hands with showdown value cheap. Pay off some of his stupid small bets to make him think he's playing you well, then take him to the cleaners when you catch him second best.

...or c/c draws like middle pairs and other crap to improve cheaply LHE style and nail him after improving by huge raise NLHE style.
