NL50 - AA c/r\'d on flop
 

Villian is unknown.

Looks like I have to give him credit for a set here considering the limp/call preflop and the relatively dry board; or am I being too nitty?

Calling the min-raise to reevaluate on turn is fine, no?

This is played fine. I think I fold turn.

check behind flop. Do not feareth the 5 outers. If he checks turn bet 1/2 pot for value, if he leads you simply call.

AC,

If we check behind on flops like this with the goods, doesn't it kinda ruin our ability to c'bet with air on the same kind of flop?

Against regulars maybe, but he is an unknown. And the multi-tabling regulars may not even be paying attention to this hand. Also it is the rare full ring nit that will check/raise your CB's with air. And the others are too dumb to fathom your pot control checking behind with AA "omgz he didn't protect his hand!!"

Also his most likely hand is a pocket pair to limp/call. If that's the case he's either got a set or drawing to 2 outs. It seems standard way ahead/behind to me. I would also like to see showdown to get info on this unknown player. I fear what is unknown.

I disagree with this against an unknown.

I'm not hell bent on betting flop being better then checking, but I do know I'd puke if the turn came a ten, jack, queen and villain bet into me.

Because he could have QJ,QT,KJ,JT. These aren't more likely than a pocket pair. But if you are going to put him a range of just about everything then it should be even more important to you to want to see what he limp/calls in EP. And checking the flop will get to showdown most cheaply.

Results oriented, betting here is soooo standard, and checking should be done rarely for metagame purposes agains't regulars.
