I don't like doing it with 55 here because a) he's going to fold all better hands and scarcely fold worse hands, b) im creating a big pot out of position where the turn is probably going to bring a painful decision and c) if im ahead ill probably find out cheaply and if im not ill probably get to the river for a decent price and i may even have some implied odds
very good post imo.

I agree, very well explained nutsinho. I guess I often c/r flops to regain control of the betting, but in this case I'd probably be better off getting to showdown or the river as cheaply as possible.

The solution to these spots is not what to do when you get in them. It probably doesn't even matter much. It's how to get into them less often.
So how do we get into these spots less often? Leading the flop? so we can be the player that pushes, as opposed to villain?
