[friedace]

Thanks for the replies guys. I totally agree that I butchered this hand. I think a check call might be decent on a dry board, but with the FD out there, my range is a lot wider, so I can play it more aggressively as if I'm semibluffing with a flush draw.

Since I just called the pfraise, what is the best line here? Lead or check raise?

I guess it would really depend on how I would play a draw or a good ace like AJ or AQ here. For example, if I consistently lead/CR with an ace or FD here, then it disguises when I have a set. So, if you agree that the action with AJ/AQ, FD, or set should be the same a lot of the time, what is the best action to take? Always lead with these hands or CR?

To be honest, with AJ/AQ, I usually just CC and let the guy bluff his chips off if he has KK/QQ, and also keep the pot small if he has a bigger ace.
