				 how do I maximise my return here?
				
					
						PokerStars 25NL (9 handed)
 villian is very loose. I am fairly confident he will bet if checked to, but I'm wondering whether a weak lead might even get him to raise.
 
 CO ($9.15)
 Button ($16.30)
 SB ($26.15)
 BB ($33.35)
 UTG ($17.85)
 UTG+1 ($24.15)
 Staresy ($25.60)
 MP2 ($39.65)
 MP3 ($16.90)
 
 Preflop: Staresy is MP1 with 8
  8   2 folds, Staresy calls $0.25, MP2 raises to $1.25, 1 fold, CO calls $1.25, Button calls $1.25, 2 folds, Staresy calls $1.
 
 Flop: ($5.35) 8
  5  7   (4 players)
 Staresy ....
 
 (a) leads?
 (b) check-raises?
 (c) check-calls?
