    My table image just sucks at this point.
    MP2 is our same hand camper.
    BB is really terrible. I've just been robbing him blind.

    Hand 1 (AK) I fold to the CR. What do you beat here besides a bluff? If villian was lag or tricky then I don't fold so quickly, but coming from a weak/tight villian I can't hit the fold button fast enough. I also check this flop a good % of the time.

    Hand2 (9T) I like leading the turn. Protected pot, and you will find out very fast if your hand is good or not. Draws will not raise you and Kx will not raise you unless he is bad. Your line is fine too, but I fold this to a big river bet.

    The other players will pay off like a slot machine and I don't want to run a strong when weak, weak when strong strategy for lots of good reasons.

    If you feel you will get paid off by hands worse than TPTK on this board, then by all means, drop the hammer. The reason I check this flop is not because I'm employing a strong/weak line, but to control the pot size and minimize my losses to a set. Also, I think pot control with TPTK here is especially important given the deep stacks. From my experience, at 100-200NL there's not many players who will play a big pot with less than TPTK on the dryest of boards.
