I thought C bet cause of possible draws right play or no?

You guys are very deep so I'd definitely make a bigger bet. The pot is 775 so I'd probably bet 750 or so.

really? I thought maybe I should of went for acheck raise or something because i got no action? So really I should of bet the pot and came out firing then?

you want to pot it w top set? i WANT the draws to see a card so i like the 400 bet. they may make their hand and still lose. on the turn they will have to pay for right to see the river. i believe in value betting and taking a risk that someone will draw out its the chance im willing to take. i can always slo down on the turn if a scare card hits but im going nowhere w aaa here unless board is 4 flush or 4 str8

id bet closer to 2/3-full pot on this flop. pretty coordinated and with their stacks if they have a draw theyre seeing a lot of turns whether the bet is 400 or 600

posted a similar situation earlier and all the advice were pot the flop

[TexRef]

Def bet the pot -- you will get action if someone has an ace and from draws... I'd say 1/2-2/3 of pot... Lead out because if you don't too many times they will just check behind and you are losing a lot of value.

Even if you check here, they rarely bet bc your pf raise and flop check just look too suspicious, esp 3-way. You can't give a free card here, bet 500. 400 ain't bad.

I'd bet like 3/4 to pot, not because of draws, but because I want to get my whole 6.5k stack in by the river and betting 400 on the flop is going to make that very difficult to do without having a really suspicious overbet thrown in somewhere.
