AK...fear of commitment

Yeh, checking prolly sucks. Even so, what are we hoping to gain by betting, besides protection? We have good equity and there aren't too many draws.

Checking also looks suspicious, possibly putting an observant opponent into WA/WB mode. That's good for our one-pair hand, as it invokes both pot control and reluctance to fold, no?

I don't know. Could be over thinking it.

Betting would fold out set-fishers. You'd get calls from KQ, QT, T9, maybe even QJ or KT depending. UTG is even less likely to have much, consdering he open posted blinds then simply could've felt compelled to complete cause he's a moron who couldn't wait for blinds to reach him next hand.

Villian's calling range could be even looser considering he's in position, and if your cbet% is high he might float...lots of great reasons to bet.
