Playing 1-1 live, eight handed. It is midway through the session. This is a normal night for this game - loose, passive game slowly bleeding the weaker players but everyone is having fun. (For what it is worth, this is the first night my Empress set got into play.)
Cast of characters:
Hero is in middle position with $275 on a $100 buy in. Hero gets respect for his raises in this game a little more than the 1-2 game. So, hero has been a little more active but hasn't had to show a bluff. It has been a fine session. Hero is playing slightly loose, semi aggressive (but when aggressive we might be playing for stacks.)
Old Man Coffee is in late position with $80. OMC is looser in this game than the 1-2. The bets are in his comfort zone and he is willing to take more risks. OMC is observant and capable of ranging and floating. I'd guess he is a level two thinker at best.
The hand:
One limp to Hero who has
. Hero raises to $5 (normal sizing). Everyone but OMC folds. Two way action to the flop with $13 in the pot.
Flop

Hero bets $10, villain calls. Two way turn action, $33 in the pot.

Action on Hero. Bet or check? If betting, how much? If we have doubts about Hero's preflop or flop line, please say so.
