c-bet flop obv

since you didn't

fold.  you played the hand bad and really have no idea where you're at.  why risk more chips.

your only options are to shove or fold the turn here.  if you flat it leaves you with less than 50% of your stack and a difficult decision on the river when he pushes.

i'm guessing you shoved and he rolls over AJ and nails A on river?... maybe he nailed another J.

EDIT:  apparently everyone is saying not to cbet that flop however I 100% do, prob the same 800ish bet.... sure i might be giving them away but if i check behind and lets say a K hits... then what do i do. oh wait.

Only possible reason to bet flop here is if he's folding some Ks (obv not) or calling with some Js or draws(more plausible).

This shallow im checking back flop and also betting turn. When raised it becomes a tough spot. There's 0 point to shoving though unless we think he stacks off w a J or draw here.

Either fold or flat and then call river bet.

Choice is gonna be down to how you've seen him play strong made hands, bluffs and draws.

Yes you should always bet flop with a way ahead way behind hand that has tons of value yet has trouble getting value from worse.  WTF please stop giving horrid advice everyone in this forum. I check back the turn as well for the same reason as checking the flop. Then call river or value bet myself.

Some interesting responses.  I actually wish I had played the hand differently because of what one person said in this thread.

Could use more clear responses as to how to proceed as played ie. fold, call or shove

Interesting plot-twisting(maybe) results to follow once the bet is finalized

appst-you never said how you would proceed as played (i know you are 100% betting flop) you can still count as a vote

OMG THIS.  i think both options are fine.  most of the time i do actually check behind here myself, but WHY ARE YOU BETTING THE TURN.  ughh the reason to not bet the flop is the same on the turn. sigh.  sorry that bet on the turn just really tilts me

W/O reads I fold. His raise sizing makes me wonder what we can beat here. Such a small raise is usually done for value and wants to be shoved over. Meh... kinda tough spot.
such a small raise is because of his stack size
