Yeah, I think you can go to valuetown on this. He's not going to fold an A after your turn check.

Re: I dont like this board
 

I bet/fold the turn and check behind on the river. Besides gaining a little value this doesn't let him draw to a split for free. It opens us up to getting raised out by a worse hand though but I don't think that will happen very often.

As played I think you can value bet.

Re: I dont like this board
 

Yes. Why didnt you bet the turn? You get no info from a check which leaves you in the same situation on the river.
As played, I would bet/fold the river.

Checked the turn because I didnt want to put any more money in while behind, I kinda didnt expect the flushcard to come off and wasnt really focussed while playing this hand. I wanted to give villian a chance to bluff on the river so I would lose minimum and get it to showdown, that is call his river donk. But since he didnt bet the river I have no idea if im ahead or behind. Also I would hate it if he called my turn bet and donked the river.

You have no reads, and I don't know 1/2, but getting check-raised on the turn here suggests normal players have a very strong hand and you could fold. Bet-fold turn... Bet-call if he bluffs too much.

Don't bet-call if he bluffs too much. Check behind and call a river bet if he bluffs too much. First, this induces more bluffs than the turn bet, and even a frequent bluffer will you have drawing dead most of the time he check/raises.
