I have a lot of problem defending against sb call preflop and represent flop strategy.
*****
$11, 800
50/100, Bubble, my chips 1000, villain 1000 sitting on my right. Chip leaders both 3000.
1st round.
sb calls. I bb check with rags. Flop, Sb bets 100. I fold.
2nd round.
Same thing. This time I raise 200 with nothing on flop. sb calls. Sb bets 100 on turn. I raise 300. Sb folds.
3rd round.
Sb pulls the same trick. I fold flop this time.
4th round.
Villain would not quit and did the same thing. I minraise flop and raise 3bb turn with nothing. Both checks on the river. He has middle pair.
How do I defend against this?
1. Keep checking and calling?
2. Wait until I have something? We have the same stake and blinds are high.
3. Play back at villain with nothing?
4. Best judgement? I have no read on this guy.

Another situation. 50/100
3 players. sb and I same stake 2000. sb bets 200 on the flop. I bb K5 have nothing. I feel that 80% sb has nothing too, I also feel that after watching him play if I raise/push 90% he will call, I dont want the situation to turn into coin flip yet, I know calling is really bad play, but I read somebody said something about checking and calling bluffers, so I did a bit of experiementation and call to the river with sb bets of 200. His K7 hit 7 on the river.
I need serious advice, guys. Advance thanks.
