Hypothetical Top Set

[hertagnism 0]

I was discussing this situation with a friend and how you would approach. Different views but anyways, let's assume that you have rockets in the SB and it folds all around. You raise it 5x and the BB calls. For argument's sake, let's assume both stacks are full. The flop is: A x x, rainbow. If the BB is 75/4.0/1.50 over 100 hands, would you check or lead out? What if the BB was 17/17/2.5 over 100 hands? Same situation except let's assume the flop is: A x x, two same suits. Would you lead out to protect against the flush draw against the uber-loose passive? What about the 17/17 player? What moves would give you the most value and get you paid off?Thoughts?

1st situation, with rainbow flop, I check it either way. Loose player will probably bet, and I will call, check raise the turn. Tighter player, I'd check flop, bet 1/2 pot if the turn wasn't a scare card, bet pot if the board paired or flush draw, maybe even push to show perceived weakness.2nd situation, I'd lead out either way. Probably 1/2 to 2/3 pot. Either way, you still have to protect your hand in this situation, regardless of the style of play.

the x x cards in your scenario matter a lot.

Assume the x x is 8 2, or 9 4. If they were connected and applied to the 2nd scenario, then we would have to protect against the draw. If they weren't connected and a rainbow, would it be profitable to allow the LAG or the TAG to bet?
