Does anyone fold the flop here? Villain has proven to be pretty loose/spewy. A few hands previous he raised my c-bet with 68s on a T42 rainbow board then 3 barreled.

My thinking at the time was to check-fold any spade, but call down the rest of the deck.

I CBet the flop for value. If MP raises and I would call the flop as long as nobody else wakes up with a raise. Betting the flop makes the hand a bit easier to play. You are playing a guessing game by check/calling the flop.

I actually just played a hand the other day that was somewhat similar. MP raised,I misclicked CCed OTB with 84o, BB defended. When both players checked in front of me on a monotone board, I bet out every street. BB folded on the turn and MP folded on the river when the board was 4 flush. I think in situations like these, it's easy to see how the game is less about having cards and more about reading people.

Thanks folks. Now that I look at the hand away from the table, it certainly seems a c-bet for value is in order.

I don't think this read tell us he is spewy or loose, just that he is capable of bluffing (I assume check-raising) and barreling off ui - as he has to if he wanna win the hand.

btw I agree with the others about the flop cbet.

No, wasn't that. I left out the rest to keep it short, but he cold called first in from the hijack with that hand and then instaraised the flop. He was playing a ton of hands in a not-so-profitable way. I probably should have elaborated a bit more.
