Silver Level
A loose and aggressive player opens from the button. He does that with, say, 35% of his hands. We have A8s in the BB. Effective stack = 100 BB.
An option is to re-steal. Against someone who folds a lot of his hands to a 3-bet this is immediately profitable, of course. However, this particular question isn't about re-stealing. It's when we call instead of raise, because our opponent is too likely to continue with even the weaker holdings and we don't want to see a flop out of position with a vulnerable hand in a big pot.
... and the flop is dry. It's, let's say, T-T-3.
So, for the people with lots of experience at NL, I ask: What's our standard play in a situation like this? We will often - most of the time, I'm guessing, but I haven't researched it - have the best hand. Do we play fit-or-fold? Do we come out betting some of the time? Do we check/raise-bluff some of the time? Do we float?
All options are of course viable in the sense "to mix it up" but I'm curious about the actions you take often. As in, anything you're liable to do - let's say - more than 25% of the time. So if you fold 40% of the time and call 40% of the time, but lead out 10% and c/r 10% of the time, it's folding and calling I'm interested in.
And what's the plan for the rest of the hand?
This is a spot where I've developed a strategy of my own, and I have a feeling it's something that I've picked up from limit hold 'em, and I want to run a quick line check to make sure I'm not completely off base with it. For the suspense, though, I'll save my line for later.
