Default 5/10 WPX AJs line check.

WorldPx 5/10, 4 handed. Button is an aggressive player who has put in too many bets with weak hands in the last few rounds of play.

Preflop: UTG folds, Button raises, sb folds, mjkidd calls in the BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img],J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

My hand is clearly much stronger than button's range, but 3-betting gains me pretty much no fold equity on any street. I'm getting to showdown against this guy pretty much regardless of how the cards come down -- if I don't hit my flop, I'm planning on checking and calling the whole way.

Flop (4.3 sb): K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img],J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img],6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
mjkidd checks, button bets, mjkidd raises, button 3-bets, mjkidd caps

This street plays itself, obviously. This guy doesn't always have a King when he 3-bets me; he probably has a K a minority of the time. I'm planning on value betting the turn and river if two blanks hit the turn and river.

Turn (5 BB). Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
mjkidd checks, button checks

This is a pretty crappy card for me. Any straight draw he might have had just paired or hit the straight. I'm checking hoping if he hit his Q he'll be afraid to value bet it after I capped the flop. When I check, I think I've semi-exposed my hand, but I don't really care because I'm pretty much showing down no matter what. I'm betting the river if a heart, jack, or ten falls, and checking and calling anything else.

Is this play/reasoning standard? Does anyone bet the turn here?
