Well, c/r is very strong on this flop. Looks like you hold AK or a set alot of time and you will fold out alot of draws. So I prefer to lead the flop and hope I hit a flush on the turn and that the villain gets there with a smaller one. Then I'll lead with a teaser bet, showing weakness and hoping to get into a raising war. Villain's bet is pretty weak so I'm putting him on a JT or an underpair, so I doubt you get much value in this hand anyways.

Although Hero likely has >50% equity, he currently has Ace high . Taking the pot with a flop c/r if Villain is weak is no bad result.

Bit of a parlay. Don't know the odds of Villain also having a flush draw - but it's a long shot. I don't mind a flop bet or c/r, but just want as much money to go in the pot as possible, as Hero is never in bad shape.
