Hero ?

Is it a mistake checking OTF? maybe better CB here to fold some small pairs and hand which still have equity against me (opp is 14/10/3.4/0 over 159 hands)? i thouht to check since i dont have much fold equity on this flop and being so dry i would do so with some strong hands as well and play some turns. OTT from size i thought he could barrel some FDS, and some small pairs i still have equity against so i decided to call and J hits my range pretty good. OTR as played im not sure.... should i lead?

Is it a better line here? like betting turn ? or betting flop and continuing on some overcards as well as FDs? i feel as played small mistake is not betting that turn?

You need 25% of eq to be on top with K, Q, A. You've got about 27% that you hit, that makes the turn call breakeven.

I like the flop check. Imo it is difficult to play this hand well if you start betting OOP with A high.
When villain checks behind you could bet once OTT since it will usually generate autoprofit. On the other hand the turn card is not the best one and I can agree with giving up too.

I didn't check this but since A,Q or K improves us we have 10 outs and that would make around 21% equity, not 27%?
What if villain has a flush draw? What if villain has AK and we hit an ace or a queen? What if we are only splitting.
I don't think that is a profitable call OTT.

Flop check looks ok. Some will vote for a cbet with backdor and overcards.
I do not like the turn call though.

if opp range OTT looks something like this: 99-66,AQs-AJs,KQs,QJs,JTs,AKo (maybe JJ too?) we have around 23%, the problem i have with this is that i m not sure how his calling range is composed from the blinds. But as you said by betting turn we could fold most of his range thats ahead of us, and get called by some draws (assuming his range kind of looks like the one above) and play some rivers.
