you have to make a decision here on the turn, whether to play a big pot or a small pot. again, you chose the in between road, where your decision should be one or the other.

if you chose to play teh big pot (you think you are up against Ax enough), then you are getting all your money in asap. You dont want to fold out Ax though, so you dont push on the flop. you do however want to make the river call by him routine, so you want to bet closer to like 10, then leave him 7 behind for the river. Whether or not you want to play a big pot here is a more difficult question, and entirely depends on how much he has Ax.

if you decide to play a small pot, meaning you think he could be ahead here enough, you need to check the turn. now, if he bets like pot, you probably fold. if he checks the turn and a blank drops on the river, deciding between check/calling or betting the river is close most times. check folding isnt mcuh of an option if the bet isnt too high

something to think about is comparing a lines of (turn bet, river bet) with (turn check/call, river check/call) and (turn check/raise.) Understanding the difference between these three is really useful. what has to change for each to be the preferred play, given the preflop action and the board
