1. if we do this it's mainly to outflop overs, and gain a cheap pot. I do it in tourneys, but in cash I'd tend to stay away from it. On this flop, we have very little info so your options are
a) c/f; weak but safe
b) c/r; prolly our best option at this point, obv folding to a 3b. The big issue is how to play vs a coldcall/float; so we're gaining equity by optimizing our chances of taking it on the flop, but vs a good player (or shitty station) we're kindof out on a limb w/ very little info.
c) cb/f; dont like it, pretty weak and has the negatives of option b w/o the benefits
2. Prolly the better option, gaining more info and getting more money in w/ presumably the best hand. When he flats the 60 and we see this flop our options are:
a) c/f; horrible and weak
b) c/r; meh, looks bluffy and puts a lot of money out in a weak spot.
c) cb/f I like this the best I think, horrible flop, happens and he prolly has us beat if he raises the bet; vs a coldcall we get a free turn generally and were gonna have to reevaluate if we dont (generally folding).
