$16-JJ-line check

[ADLinden]

Against an unknown, thought I was getting value from an ace a lot of the time.

bet flop

I'd bet the flop, 150 ish.

As played, I like the turn bet but not the river. I don't think an Ace is calling and every other calling hand has you beat.

We should never be checking the flop when there is a straight possibility, a flush probability.

Protect your hand.

I like a flop bet as well - Charge flushdraw and 79/J9 A8, and maybe Mp1 will fish with overs ... A ten will likely check this flop too, so checking the flop and betting the turn has more cons than pros

I think there is more value in check/calling river if you want to put more money in - a worse hand might bet when checked to more often than it calls, and I think there is a small possibility of an 8 checking behind
