Long time player and post reader, first time poster.
I consider myself a pretty decent reader of hands and find myself out of position heads up after calling a raise, knowing that i have my opponenent beat on a dry or mostly dry flop with ace high, or ace with a higher kicker on 6 max tables. My question is, what line should i take when I know my no pair hand is good. Check raising the flop usually gets a call at these stakes. Check calling, and then leading a safe turn works occasionaly, but often they will call with a weak draw by then, and the river is tough...I suppose donk betting the flop, or check calling all the way could work, but they seem like weak/very beatable plays.
Thoughts anyone? I know the best play would be villan specific for each situation, but many times there isnt enough infomation to make an informed play...
