I'd c/c turn and c/maybe call maybe fold the river depending on how much I feel like he's value betting.

why dont we just c/c the whole way here its either way ahead or way behind and on flop we have some nice backdoors, i see no problem with betting but checking allows the garbage ace to bet for us

[n1nj4.br]

I default line is to check flop.

Anyway, as played, bet 3 on turn and a block (4.5?)on river

(that's why i just check, i hate theese spots)

[avfletch]

I'd be happy to bet the flop and agree that blocking the turn and river is the way to go. If he raises at any point then I'd be happy to get off it at that point.

IMHO betting the flop then checking the turn Villans will often bet somewhat bigger than if we did, we also lose the bettor advantages of FE by checking.

If I lead the flop, I often bet 3 turn then c/call the river -folding to any major heat.
