AQs checks top pair on the flop

[ftball0000]

I have been experimenting with checking the flop more, both when I hit and miss.

Villian is 38/22/3, pretty aggresive and I've seen better players in my life

i generally bet this flop for 3 reasons

1 so i can bet flops like this when i have KJs

2 to gain value out of worse aces, which are def in his range here

3 to charge any possible draws.


as played i think its fine

bump.... Is a rainbow flop better to check on? Also one of the reasons I checked was to get value from weaker A's on the turn and river

I lead turn for 16 or 17 as played.

And I think you have to fold to the turn raise, maybe not vs this aggro dude.
