    Default C-bet or not?

    Poker Stars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.02 BB (5 handed) - Poker Stars Converter Tool from http://flopturnriver.com

    Button ($3.64)
    Hero (SB) ($2)
    BB ($1.59)
    UTG ($2.40)
    MP ($2.09)

    Preflop: Hero is SB with K, A
    3 folds, Hero raises $0.05, BB calls $0.04

    Flop: ($0.12) 6, 4, 7 (2 players)
    Hero ?

    Villain's stats 48/0/0/0/0/-/- over 30 hands. Vpip/pfr/ats/fold to steal/3bet/cbet/fold to cbet.

    I think villain will be continuing too often on this flop for a profitable c-bet what do yous think?

    Raise larger pre-flop to take advantage of this guy's tendency to call with an enormous range -- I make this read because of his 48/0 stats (which are sufficient after 30 hands for this type of read) plus his stack size which isn't topped up. I'd make it $0.10 (5x) instead of $0.06 (3x).

    Players like this tend to be massive calling stations, so I'm just going to check and see what happens. We don't have to worry about him bluffing us a huge amount of time on the flop since he's so passive, so we're not really losing much that way. We also get a good bit of value from catching an ace or king on the turn since he's going to call us with a huge range after checking through the flop, so we should bet at least pot when we do catch.

    If it checks through on the flop and we catch a club on the turn, I'm going to be inclined to check again unless it's a queen or jack in which case I might bet half pot since we have at least 30-35% equity even against his single pair hands that call, and he's probably not going to fold to a fat river bet when we hit.

    I would not C-bet that flop. To much he can have hit with his PF call procentages. Check and see what happens, then make small bet if you hit on the turn, or it gives a high card you can represent. That's how I would play it

    I would also have raised larger preflop with that hand. I would only check that flop and see what happens on the turn.

    Would we ever not be raising more preflop? Why raise less than 3x?

    Blind vs blind with AKs, should we not be betting at least 3x, if not 4x? I like an .08 raise here.

    As played, yes - cbet the flop 3/4 to pot and go from there on the turn with the intention of folding to any aggression.

    I'm surprised that seven-duece is still raising 3 bb at 2nl with hands like this against a 48/0. I'd be going to 10c against this guy.

    rise preflop more(like 0.8$-0.10$) because on this stakes most people pay to see flop.

    Others have said you should have raised more pre, but you didn't, so the question still stands how to continue.
    Why not c-bet to make up for the missed larger preflop raise.
    It was mentioned that this player is probably a calling station. So betting the same amount again on flop, turn and river will probably result in a river fold or just a call if anything was caught.
    I prefer to keep control of the betting and pot size than turning passive against this player.

    With no BDFD you can probably c/f some of the time, but I would cbet with a BDFD.
