Hand from the PS $1m turbo takedown freeroll. There's just over 2000 left, and the pay jumps from $90 to $150 @ 1999, so anyone who takes me on has something to lose. I haven't raised for a while, so I feel like this is a decent time given stack sizes behind me.
I haven't seen CO flat-call preflop yet, so his holding is unknown. He's folded most hands, open raised a few, and rr'd with QQ. Now what do you do on the flop, esp. given that he will have 10.5k left. C'bet of 5555 any good? A c/r bluff is out of the question as a bluff pot-commits him, and I think check/folding is way too weak. Thoughts?

Well, since you're bluffing, you knew you'd likely be in this spot after the flop. I guess the course of action here would be to lay out the c-bet and hope he has two overcards and will lay it down.
The wisest thing to do would be check/fold imo, but then again, I wouldn't try to bluff with this in the first place. |

your raise was 1.5x bb, barely more than a min raise. Unless people have regularly been folding to this raise, I would either raise more pre-flop or not bother at all.
On the flop, I don't think you can bet here. You're out of position, and any 10 (and possibly Q) is certainly going to reraise you. Any 9 8 or 7 is definitely going to at least call. If you check and bet the turn if he checks, you'll at least have a chance to push a Q or 7 off their hand. |

| Fold preflop. Don't steal with garbage. Steal with hands that at least have a chance to flop a hand or draw like suited connectors, suited Aces/Kings etc. As played you might as well throw a c-bet out there. Otherwise your preflop bet was pointless. Fold to any raise and go into check/fold mode if called. |
