Thoughts on flop check? I tend to check most of my topsets unless the board is very drawheavy, this flop is a bit close though I would say. Might even be better off betting since villains range consists of a lot of broadways, and lower pockets and such won't blow up the pot for us if we check anyway.

So thought on checking flop? ch/c best line right, as we block many combos of Ax?
And if we're not checking OTF, bet and c/c or c/r is the way to go?

As played, bet out and extract value right away from KQ, KJ, KTs and try to squeeze in two streets of value against weak aces?

Hey Axelphoney,

I think flop check is totally fine here. You block Ax opponents can hold + you protect your flop checking range.

Having said that, as an exploitative line vs an opponent who likes to float flops wide, then cbet flop + x/r turn would be fine.

After villain's flop check back you should begin betting for value from any bluff-catchers + flush-draws. If you had the read that villain would fire wide vs a double-check you can go for the check raise, but betting out is less risky vs an unknown.
