3/6 AK HU turn

villain (28/15/2) raises in MP
folded to me on button with AKo, i raise
folded to villain who caps

flop - A33 (rainbow)
villain bets, i call(?)

turn - 2 (no 2flush)
villain checks, hero...

which line is better?
bet right now
or check behind to induce a river bet by his TT+, lower ace, AK (what other range do you put him on)?

i personally like checking, but id like to hear others opinions.

Bet. He doesn't really ever fold here, he just wants to avoid getting raised.

why would you check? do you dislike money? you are getting called down close to 100% of the time by underpairs.

hmm, in this instance he did actually fold after i bet. i didnt have a read on him that he was kind of goofy, he seemed solid. he probably had a similar read on me and figured since i called the flop i had to have at least a pair. i think he got a little crazy preflop with JT or something like that.
the hand made me confused, thats why i posted it. but thinking back betting is the thing to do, since most of the time he will definately not fold.

I personally like raising the flop. Even tags will call all the way with underpairs there. Don't miss value.

I just raise the flop.

Yeah I think you have to bet here. He probably won't fold a big pair anyway, so you have a chance to get him to put a couple of bet in.
