Live 10/20NL - Idiot end of Straight Flush

I dont think I could lay down a straight flush for 200BB. I didnt want to be in that spot, so I checked.

My read would have been dependent on his river bet. A small value bet from OP2 (think $1200-$1600) would be scarierier than a poosh.

If I bet, the only hand that calls is winning.

Villan is either coldcalling with the Qs or a set hoping to fill up. How is betting here good? What about the way you played the hand is going to make villan think we're bluffing and call with Ks? Right now from villans point of view it looks like you have As and are scared of the straight flush and is probably check/calling most river bets. Seeing that villan is completely unknown it's reasonable to not expect him to try and bluff in this spot.

Therefore, check/fold is the best line here and it's not even close imo.

He is a SAPP

Standard Armenian Poker Player.

I was hoping for a push from him. That would give him 0% chance of having the Qs.

edit: Followed by him table talking and saying "You should fold. I have the nuts. I show"

i dont see a reason for raising on the turn, you have the ace too so theres no hand that can pay you off. and if you are ahead they are both drawing dead anyway.
