Default bottom two -- nl cash

i'm playing aggressive preflop and postflop. opponent has pretty standard calling requirements on the turn/river; he won't push light (prob not pushing pair+fd on turn, won't checkraise bluff the river).

effective stacks 450
i raise 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] otb to 12. he calls.

flop (24)
K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
he checks. i check.

turn (24)
3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
he leads for 24. i raise to 90. he calls.

river (204)
T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
he checks. i?

You have to bet that flop.

I like your turn play. I check behind on that river unless villain has shown a history of calling light.

Why bet the flop here?

And looks like an easy bet here if he won't bluff c/raise or c/raise with a single pair.

You definitely do NOT have to bet that flop. I think checking behind is very reasonable and putting in like a 1/3 pot is reasonable as well Id probably bet because you know your never getting bluffed out.

I don't follow the reasoning behind checking behind on that flop... your hand is going to get worse 43 cards out of 47, and scarily better an additional 2 cards (3 or 4 of clubs).

You're betting flop to take down the pot right there and/or set up a double barrel on a blank turn.

Theres a very small range of better hands you fold out, you dont have anything you need to protect and you get pushed off your hand by draws a lot which is why I check this flop a lot here.

You absolutely have something to protect here, you have a pair HU. 2/3rds of the time he has nothing here. If you want to be conservative about it and figure in a tight OOP raise calling range, you are still ahead of more than half his range.

I disagree vehemently on many levels that checking this flop is good.

You dont have anything to protect because you can easily be pushed off of it by worse hands and your not willing to put a lot of money in with it.

Basically I see cbetting this flop as bluffing with a weakish 5 out draw on a drawy board that helps villains range.
