Delayed CBet — is this the right place for this?

I'd cbet the flop or the turn, depends on who is in the bb. If he is very aggro post I would check the flop to avoid getting check raised off my hand. Your bet sizing also doesn't look like you too worried about potential spade draw, so you could have flopped the nutz and were slow playing. If he is always playing this honest, then raising his blind with any two is a good idea, no?

Any info on villain would be nice as well. Don't forget you have a decent amount of Ax hands in your raising range pre-flop as well. I expect villians calling range has less Ax in his/her range than in your raising range. That makes it for me a decent spot for a Cbet.

I've found that this is a favourite tactic of a lot of players — myself included.

I would think that Aces are more in BBs calling range than a BTN opening range, so when BB checks the turn I unleash the bet.
This hopefully gets folds from all the small PPs that are actually ahead — or at least that is my thought process.

btn vs sb we can just cbet 100% of our range with a 20-25% sizing

plays easy like that - he's probably folding 45-55% of the time, so we print a lot of money with bluffs and protect a lot of equity

you're getting XR here like 7% vs population tendency, so i wouldnt worry about it -> with this hand i would call
