ok but that doesnt make it the best line w/ any hand or even make it a good line at all w/ some hands

because a player this tight will fold some hands that beat you. If you check here,you have given him hope that will carry him to the river that his Ax is good.

ok but it makes it at worst a good line. +ev is +ev. cbetting with KK on any flop is better that playing it passively and getting bluffed by JJ because you showed weakness.

no it doesnt make it at worst a good line. open-shoving AA first to act is +EV but it sucks. And just b/c you check doesnt mean you have to c/f and get bluffed by JJ.

Re: $200NL - Hows My Line?
 

ok.

check flop

check call smallish bet on turn

you don't hit your two outer on river, what now?

fold to any bet?
hope you get a free showdown?
bluff having absolutely no idea where you are in the hand?

I think it's kinda read-dependant, if he's passive/nitty enough I can see him check behind AQ/AK here (its a rr pot). I honestly think it's a close call.

(N00b corner)
I have a question for OP: what's your plan if opponent bets the flop?

do you also occasionally check AA/AK here? if not, your hand becomes very readable and a perceptive player would attack when you check after 3betting pf.
