Im not really sure, since I believe a big part of this guys ranges is pocket pairs, and this is not the best board due to that. I would CB this against 2 opponents, but against 4 Im not really sure...

Any comments??

I like checking here, because I can't see what I have equity against if i'm bet-calling.

its impossible for you to be drawing dead, so i dont understand how you cant see how you will have equity?

I'd cbet 2/3 pot and call any shove.

Good equity*

If somebody check raises on this flop, it seems like it will be with a set/2 pair much more frequently than a draw.

there is also the issue of there being 33bbs in the middle and you being the pfr, i think you need to bet here to thin the field, it cleans up overcard outs when someone sticks around with TT or pair+draw hands.

Re: good spot to CB w AQs??
 

You could be right. It just seems better to check in a spot where you could very easily get check raised and not be too thrilled about getting it in.

I know lots of people would have no problem calling a shove/shoving if raised. But it seems like mediocre hands (1 pair) will call you, which is fine, but when raised I have trouble distinguishing if it's from a set or a draw and against people who you don't have a good read on, it's near impossible to tell and i'm generally inclined to fold to figure i'm up against a 2pair/set hand as opposed to a weaker draw.

So to avoid a difficult decision I still prefer to check here.
