  1. Just feeling like I missed out on more value on this hand, but I could blank turn and river draw wise and lose it too...was it a good lead amount to induce action or would I want to check this flop...opponent was fairly limp / call happy.

  2. bet flop, a limper like him will call your bet on that flop alot of the time. then you can check turn if it works out.
  3. he did bet flop.

    bad flop for villian if he holds 66, 55, 65, Ax, KQ. villian would have to hit this flop to continue. you got good value PF and hit the flop hard. CB is fine, but villian completely missed scarey flop.
