when a nitty villain flats the flop I think I c/f turn despite his donkish line. Maybe he's vbetting (very weakly) like TT or bets turn for free showdown (guess not lol).

no need to raise the ace, so I think check/call is ok here. If he bets more on the turn or river I fold.

I think this line is fine but I doubt there is much you are ahead of on the turn. Curious what he showed down (and how big the 11/4 sample is)
