Not sure about the 2/3 flop cbet on monotone flop. Would say 1/3 or check is more reasonable on the flop. Other streets seem fine.

I think this kind of Villain is pretty inelastic within a pot size bet with a lot of his range, so maybe that was a little bit of an exploit. Though, I agree it is important not to go crazy on monotone flops, not pushing as much equity. I was between 2/3PSB on flop and ch/b.

Elusive mark has a series on bet sizing if you are an elite member. I think it's usually 25-33% or check on monotone flops. 2 pair is a good hand, but so many bad run outs for you, not really trying to play for stacks with 2 pair on monotone board. Best not to build a big pot early, wait until the turn where equity is cut in half.
