Played it fine, no point in raising river. I often find the line the villian took means a small pair.

I'd 1/2 pot c-bet this flop. If he sticks around, give him credit for the A and move on. There's no way he bluff check-raises. Checking makes this so difficult. You'll be kicking yourself if he shows a random K.

c-bet flop yeah. He either has a mid PP or a weak A/K. You put yourself into a difficult position by checking the flop behind.

Don't put a chip in the pot after the flop, unless you improve

Betting the flop is pointless has the only hand that might fold that you don't beat is KQ.

Calling those tiny bets is good. This will be a weak Ax sometime but most of the time 88-JJ or the occasional random QT.
