I'm thinking I should have bet the flop, but I was pretty sure I was a mile ahead and so didn't want to kill my action. Comments on all streets welcomed.

I also believe you should bet the flop.

As played, river fold is standard.

on this board... you dont really need to worry about killing you action. if theyre not calling a flop bet then theyre probably not calling a turn bet, so, bet flop. pot it on all streets to get max value from Ax, which you probably will be able to get 3 streets of value from coz dudes dont fold toppair in unraised pots. As played though, fold river
