25NL AK on Ace High Monotone Board

[guitarizt]

Villain is 23/16/3.45 over 185 hands. His aggr by street is 4/2.75/3.5. At the time I thought my best option was to call his flop raise and get allin on a non heart turn since I was putting him on KKh. Afterwards I think his range could have been a lot wider, and maybe I should have even checked the flop and start betting if a heart doesn't come on the river?

Looks good to me, even if he has a flush we've 10 outs anyway and it's a hand like kxkh enough to make the turn an easy call with the odds you're getting, rest of the streets are played perfectly.

i check flop alot but the way you played it is fine.

the main thing is you don't want to bet out 100% of the time on this flop against opponents who will mostly continue with just a set or flush.

i think u played the hand fine.

I see nothing really wrong here. You could have repopped all-in on the flop. No reason not to if you believe your trying to avoid a heart. Obviously his stats play a big role in this type of play. Checking on the flop just seems too scared to me, you can't just go curl up in a corner everytime a monotone board comes.

Check the flop, i hate giving my villain here the opportunity to c/r.
A check would have changed the whole perspective of the hand.
The turn i would just called his eventually bet and hope for a board pairing on the river to get his stack.

He is by no means a nit.

That is the best card in the deck for you. If you called his min raise I think you felt here.
