This is from a live $2-$5 game.

7 (!) people limp in, I have AJss in the BB and pop it to $60. (standard "punish limpers" raises in this game have been $40-$50, with more in the pot I'd thought I'd make it a bit more.)

I have about $450 behind, get called by a bad player with $185ish behind, and a loose bigstack on button that has me well covered. Note, the shortstack probably has a much much stronger range than the BTN, who has a raising range of approximately K2+/QJ/88+ as well as total trash hands. So I assume his limp-call range is something like like 22-77/T9/JT/98 type hands.

Flop: Ks Jc 6s

Pot is $207, Hero does what?

Looking at that, I would say (unless you're up against 66) you're either ahead right off the bat or you have any A, J or spade as an out. You've got to be pretty pleased about this flop, cos even against a random king you're like 50/50 at this point.

Check/shove! :D

u're not getting away from the hand. best play would be to cbet a weak 80 and hope the SS got a piece of this flop to ship it in, and if the button calls the SS's shove, prime spot for u to ship it in.

Hero wants to get all the money in on the flop, so he considers table dynamics. Ideally you'd want to be able to check, let the bad player shove, the button call and then you can reshove over it. That works fine if bad player is somewhat aggro postflop.

If bad player is rather passive, you're probably better off leading small enough that worst jacks and flush draws come along.

Obviously you can never fold here. I think just about anything is ok here. From a spazz shove to a small cbet and try and get it in. For some reason i want to spazz shove with our good equity in this spot. .

I think I would tend to C-Bet more often 1) if no one has a hand you just take the $200 pot here and now. 2) You can disguise your flush a bit if you hit it.

I would lean more towards 1/3-1/2 pot bet. Allow weaker J, flush, and str8 to gamble.

Also ok with check/raise here but I would want to be confident that villans are aggressive enough to bet.
