    Your hand has really fucking shitty equity so fold flop unless you can credibly raise spade and 7 turns and expect him to give up a fucking tonne on top of cfing a tonne on the turn anyway. If you expect him to continue betting(I expect he will) then floating flop is just really lighting money on fire with almost no chance of ever binking a hand yourself.

    i suspected something like this would be the case. i was aware that my hand had effectively 0% pot equity. however i felt his range was so un-balanced and weak that this wouldn't matter. like you, i also expected him to keep firing at a really high frequency, which is why i decided on the flop that i had to be willing to float at least one more street and maybe jam over a third barrel for calling flop to have any chance of being > just folding vs the C/R

    edit: i also felt, at the time, like his flop and turn sizing weighted his range more towards bluffs because people who seem remotely like regs don't just bomb the shit out of this board with their full houses or quads. most players these days seem to have cottoned on to the trend of sizing bets smaller on drier boards. though that logic could be out?

    edit #2: and i never expect people at these stakes to be C/Ring some de-polarised range for "thin" value. i'd be incredibly surprised to see TT/JJ/T9s/98s type of hands here.
