we gotta make this guy make a mistake....in order to truly gain....and thats just not likely i would think.....

are you really that scared to play a flop with a guy who has better results than you ^^'

Edit: you do realise that when he's flatting pre he's most likely looking for ways to win the pot postflop, when you check to him he can easily bet his entire range

oh yes i realize...which is why i don't think hes folding to a cbet ever (rarely). im not saying i can't take the pot at some point but its going to take more than one barrel.

I've heard of people playing scared money but your money seems selectively terrified <.<

Let's go through what we've deduced.
1. villain has a big stack and is in "huehuehuehue, I run over teh table" mode
2. we have a legit hand and we're opening ep for value
3. we get one of the better flops for our hand and just generally a flop that's good for the mean of our ep range and also a flop that is unlikely to hit villain unless he starts the hand with a pair (and he's not setmining on us here given stacks)
4. Our cbet needs to work like 50% of the time if not less in order to be profitable
5. we suspect villain will try to mindlessly make plays for the pot to guard his potentially bad flat pre giving us a really good spot to 3bet shove flop or checkshove turn light
6. we have strong reason to suspect that villain isn't flatting the top of his range since you said he was playing loose and loose player + good player = player aware of own image = player with healthy value 3bet range preflop rather than play who takes 10s to the flop with the plan of getting it in on any good flop

I feel like I can give you a lot of reasons to make your stand here and almost no reasons not to make your stand here. checking isn't really the best start of your "take a stand" line if you're not inducing with 10s+. If you cbet there's a good chance villain goes "ok, I was gonna make plays for this pot but I can rep absolutely nothing here so I better just fold now"
