Is this an easy check/fold against this type of player? Or do we fire again to clarify if he was floating or whatnot? It seems betting this turn is basically a bluff and has to be a bet/fold? Thoughts? Note we are 150BBs deep.
Hand 2. Villain is 20/17/3.5. Quite aggro postflop and thinks he's great. He is decent but I'm not sure he's as good as he thinks he is.

Obv I'm not ready to fold the flop as villain has AK/AQ or worse here like half the time, and raising seems bad. What is our plan for the turn and river? At the time my plan was to play it passive and call any bets. In retrospect, if he chooses not to bluff then I get stacked when I'm behind and win 1/3 of his stack when ahead (and can still get outdrawn), which kinda sucks. So what's the plan? Anyone fold preflop?
