correct play is bet/call flop and evaluate at the turn, I guess?

Any stats? Without stats I call his c/r most of the time. I don't think, that we get much FE by 3betting...

Lol this is total spew. Preflop is fine but I'd be making it 50cents if I'm isolating, that's just a personal thing though.

The bet postflop is fine but you don't get much fold equity by raising his bet. You also need to be getting 2:1 to make a call +EV after you raise. I don't think you get this, though, but I could be wrong.

I like calling the flop min-raise. There's no reason to 3-bet. His min-c/r gives you good pot odds to call to the straight even without considering implied odds. So just calling the flop is +ev. On the blank turn I'd just give up. Bluffing people who have raised is -ev.

This is one of those spots where I like to use a delayed C-bet. The reason is he is going to be looking to check raise any K and maybe a Q on a board like this and getting check raised with a nice draw like an open ended st8 just sucks. Just checking behind on a flop like this gives you a free look to catch your st8 and if he checks the turn card to you its an easy delayed c-bet. If you were holding the KQ and the flop was 5TJ I would be looking to get it in on a flop like this but since its the other way around its very unlikely catching a pair will help your hand at all. I do not think betting this flop is horrible but its not the line I would have taken. Getting it in here after he has shown so much strength seems way too loose tho.
