    getting my swell on
    1) i would bet it again, because this board is sooooooo drawy and you have every draw owned. plus if he is calling the flop c/r with TP he is likely folding the turn. its not a great scare card, but i think he lays it down.

    2) okay he calls 3 bets too much pre, but does he raise/call too many cbets? thats the real question.

    Lighting sweet moneys on fire.
    1. You need to 'protect your made hand' against all the draws. Bet.

    2. If I don't think he is doing this to induce a shove, then I'm usually shoving. If he is good, then I would pretty often call. Folding is ok too.

    chard- u prob dont want to cr flop vs this player but once you do id imagine bet/calling is ur best line if he occasionally folds better hands.... if this isnt true and he floats often then cr or c/c down might be correct but my gut says bet/call v this clown

    second hand im a bit more inclined to shove over a J r T high board cause six outs a bit better than three.... id generally muck vs an opponent at this level the first time he does it but I dont hate calling or shoving

    yup, it's hard to get out of the shallow stacked mtt mentality where my first thought it I'm going broke on this flop - I don't like my c/r there either against him.
