    I would check/raise the flop with your FD + 2 overs. Make it 400 to go.

    As played, shove over. You have up to 14 outs on the river assuming you don't already have the best hand.

    What do you think hes raising the turn with, worse than J 10? I feel like id bet the pot on the turn but i supposed it dont make a difference.

    its so early like 6 hands in on the first round i could put him on just about anything here in a limped pot and a smallish bet on the flop. ive seen so many wacky plays early game without a read i really cant say. would be very wide range tho. like AK/AQ/AJ/AT suited or not, a set, a flush draw, MAYBE even a strait draw, 2 pair maybe. I dunno its too hard to tell if hes retarded or not this early and with the outs and possibility of the best hand here??

    anything but c/c flop. i'm in the habit of leading out here because it costs less but in this instance it doesn't accomplish the two potential goals of playing draws aggressively: a) you fold out hands and pick up dead money or b) you get a free card.

    you're never getting the dead money here and you're OOP on the turn so checking isn't a fun play. c/r as taipan suggests. turn is interesting. i personally don't donk, but c/r folds out worse hands too often and c/c gives club draws a chance to draw on you (but it would be a backdoor so you're not completely screwed and you're in a smallish pot)
