Thoughts off the top of my head...

I'm split between calling and raising preflop. As played, you basically never have 2s,3s,4s on the flop and BTN almost always has mid pairs and suited connectors like 65s. They may also have weird connected broadways, but we block things like AJ/T and QJ/T and fold them out with a bet, when we would really love for them to stick around.

Maybe a check/call is appropriate on the flop--depending on their play style.

I think it's fine the way it was played. What were you concerned about in this hand?

I'm guessing he's concerned about how he played it.

Reads on the villain? It really depends if you think he ever has sets here or would ve aggressive with overpairs

I am concerned both about the flop bet and fold. Should I check instead and was the fold too nitty?

Probably best just to fold then as an unknown ia likely to be underbluffing. You would have been bettwr checking flop and calling a reasonable bet

If that's the case then he should say something specific like so:

I think you should keep being aggressive when you were the 3bettor pre, but 10NL has stronger players who can probably see that you do things like always betting half pot regardless of whether you hit or not after a 3bet. I would bet smaller in these situations, which will let you get away for less. You are trying to fold out weak hands and pay less when you get raised by the strong hands. Folding was correct unless you know the player tends to raise light.

10NL does not have strong players! Thats why everyone is auto cbetting even though it makes no sense on a board like this.
