Is anyone betting the flop? I went to instashove turn at first and then I thought about calling then c/c. Thoughts?

I like a flop bet very much, top pair is, after all, top pair, and there are quite a few turn cards we don't want to see. Plus, the guy who covers us has already checked.

I'm fine with a turn call and then c/c.

do you know what CO limps with? do you know what he thinks is still a good hand here? such as if he limped to trap with AA? or even AJ AK? is he prone to bluffing?
i dont mind a check on flop. and the stack sizes arent that important here because whoever you tangle with is going to put you in a bad spot on bubble. i think this looks like a semi bluff though and a check call river is a great way to induce a bluff or even a value bet that isnt good from AA.

The flop has hit almost any possible hand so I like the check on the flop..

I like the turn bet and shove over. He does not expect you to hanve the K and draws are a big part of his range.

Hit almost any hand harder than top pair?
