I pretty much have been playing Zone poker exclusively (and some MTTs) but mostly 6 max Zone.
One spot I find myself in is holding a hand like AA and having someone come along for the flop which ends up showing 2 of same suit or a viable straight or even trips, quads, or Full House. Obviously if I'm first to act and bet , i risk getting raised by a set or two pair or even better, If I check in any position I risk giving a free card that then makes the hand for the villian.
So I had one case like this where the board was super dangerous. I bet 3/4 pot, guy calls, turn comes I bet pot not sure where I'm at, guy calls. River gives flush possibility and also a pair on board. I put out a feeler bet and guy flat calls my AA with his K5s for the rivered flush. So villian happily called my bets on a board that was 6s6h8h, 10s, 4h. on every street to catch.
So what would you have done? Bet more preflop, overbet the pot on flop? Or just chalked this up to someone gambling and chasing "just because"?
