I've got a huge stack and have been playing very conservative
Table has a few idiots on, but villain has been playing consistently good starting hands, and not getting out of line much. I pretty much discount QQ as I don't think he'd take such a strong approach with such a monster (and therefore maybe 99 aswell)

What does everyone think of flop call and turn check; am I right trying to exercise good pot control or should I be getting my chips in?

I hate the river, as a Check-raise with JJ is certainly in his range if he reads me for a whiffed AK.

I think this river is a call, but I'm not totally sure, any thoughts?

Is there any merit to checking behind on the flop here??

My guess here is he either has QA or QQ.
I would call anyway.

I seriously considered this, but I make a lot of C-bets, and it would just look odd if I didn't bet. What do you believe would be the merits of a flop check?

I often check behind with AA on the flop to make villan think I missed, but if you do that I think you have to call the river.
I would bet the turn also.

JJ also a possibility... he tried to bluff you on your continuation bet

if hes pretty loose preflop he could have 99

but dave hit it on the head... prolly aq maybe qq... gotta call

Set him in on the turn.

Edit: the board is not very scary and he has pulled a pretty donkish line so i'm not ready to give him credit for a big hand here, when people do retarded things I assume their retarded (a la TwistedEcho) and assume I'm good, I'm putting it in on the turn 100% of the time here.

I would put him on the turn as well. I would put him on AQ, JJ. It's time to get his chips.
