    Default Suboptimal line? 200NL

    Villain is quite a calling station running something like 35/8/2-ish.
    Hero has done nothing special (except running bad ofc..), he is appx 22/16/3.

    I kind of turned my hand into a bluff here, but i figured his range included floats and two pairs, queens and FDs aswell as a made hand.

    Any other line more optimal?

    I would bet at least $34 on the flop and bet/call the turn. I can't think of a better line.

    Against passive types I like a bet because lots of hands will check behind. However, this is an aggro online game where punishing people who float around has more merit.

    Your line is fine if you think he's betting a wide range. Otherwise, you need to value bet this.

    Not really, the player described will call you with worse hands.

    I like this line if you're against an aggressive op but a calling station is very liable to check behind so I think b/c is better for turn.
