whats the best line to get the most value for your hand and lose the least when you are behind in spots like this?

assume villain is unknown

I tend to play these types of hands slow. He either has a better ace and is crushing you or has something like 77 or QT and is anywhere from a 10:1 to 50:1 dog. Try a Wa/wb line next time and let him bluff at the pot with a 3% chance to win. If you do take this line, it is fair game on the river of course.

the only problem i see with this is a lot of opponents tend to check behind on the turn, what do you think about calling the flop and donking the turn?

suppose in this situation vilain has Kxs after i c/c the flop he may be worried about a c/r on turn, this is not the case every time, im just thinking i dont want to give a free card when it is
