Default BB Fun with 43s: Brilliant or FPS river decision?

Regular loose 15 at the Oaks - avg of 5 or 6 players to a flop. Villain in this hand is a lady who clearly hasn't played a whole lot of poker, something like a 35/5/1.0.

PF: Lady raises UTG (this is a big hand... JJ+ and AQ+), 3 cold callers, SB calls, I call in the BB with 43s.

Flop: 652r.
check, I check, she checks (doh!), and checked around.

Turn: A, completing rainbow.
SB checks, I check, lady bets, all fold back to me and I raise, she calls.

River: A.
I check.

Awful. Just lead and raise at every chance. If nobody has anything you won't get any action anyway.

b/3b/f > b/c > c/r. Seriously, a player with 1/2 a brain should realize that if you were ahead of her on the turn (either with a boat or a str8), you'd still be ahead of her on the river (with her likely AK/AQ/AJ). She should show up with a boat/quads <1% of the time since she didn't re-pop you on the turn. Her AF is 1.0, you're OOP on the river, and virtually crushing her range...this is an auto-bet. She is now more likely to call with KK (but never bet it) since the A paired.

against weak players you must bet your hand. against obsessive value bettors you can try this trick.

Let me start by saying that there is no way she is even thinking about my hand. That said...

1. I hate to lead the flop with this. I would with A6s or 77 or something that is vulnerable, but it seems like a perfect opportunity to c/r the field on the flop.

2. You don't think she'd bet KK on the flop???? Wow. She's definitely more aggressive than that. AF of 1.0 but playing 35% of her hands.

3. On the flop I've read her as having a big ace. If the turn doesn't come A, I bet. And if the river doesn't improve her hand in my mind, I bet again. Remember that she's thinking: "I have 3 aces with a good kicker, I bet." Not "Hm. This guy c/r'd me on the turn. He may have gotten counterfeited or he's got me totally crushed."

Why C/R when you can 3-bet?

Thank you thank you thank you. This is really what my question boils down to: if I lead the river, does she raise so that I can 3-bet? I decided the answer was no at the time, and I also decided that she would call the c/r.

I was exclusively talking about the river. If she's not thinking about your hand at all, then I like b/3b/f even more. I retract my statement about KK...but I stick by everything else I said.

Flop check is fine...I never suggested otherwise.

I like the flop, I would lead the turn and hope she raises you then. If you had gotten a three bet in on the turn then I think the river check raise is a better play. As you played I think you lead and hope to get three bets in.
