OK, villain is a muti tabler but he doesent seem all that good judging from his calls/bets so far, but not too many hands to really say. Am I ok to call here, or should I push back (PF)? and how am I betting this flop?

i bet 150 because you have a pretty big draw without a made hand so its fine for you if he calls or if he folds and you take the pot down now

Easy call and easy flop bet, absolutely. But is a call warrented PF or maybe I should have raised him? And I want him calling my flop bet so since he checked, I am thinking hes gonna bolt to any bet. Ben, 150 you say. Im wondering if that wont scare him. I did bet, but he folded, so I want to know what bet is gonna make him call? Im thinking his check is literal here and any bet is scaring him off. I guess thats better than giving him a free card. Im wondering (not what I did) 1/2 pot or overbet to look weak or on a bluff respectively. But I think hes gone no matter what I do, I see his bet as a pure steal based on his check on the flop....... But what do You think??

You must be the judge, i like raising-to persuade the sb that when its folded to him- i will not let him steel my bb (thats to say we will be seated together for awhile) this is better accomplished when blinds are low(as it cost you less to teach your opp), this defense may convience others(but,co) that you defend your bb=money u keep, but nothing wrong with keeping the pot small and just calling, you do have position working for you. Also just call if hes been real loose, as you want to keep the pot small.

I wouldn't bet there, I'd want him to place a continuation bet, now based on that bet i'd either call or re-raise.

Letting him bet will make him think he has the best hand and you'll get payed off well if you complete either one of your draws.
