Would it have been better to ch/raise the flop?
My thinking at the time was that i was way ahead and could get another street of value, with check call. board gets worse on the turn.
In hind sight i think I should have ch/fold the river because Villian barrels turn and value bets big on the river close to pot.
But at the same time there's only 2 hands in villains range that I do not beat QQ and AK
What would have been a good way to play this?
