Default Re: Post flop, last one

Yeah, the C/R is fine - as long as you know the bet is coming behind you. Otherwise, what do you do if a club or an ace falls on the turn? Since you know one of your opponents likes suited aces, you might be lost as to what to do. Since my post-flop play is pretty bad, and I'm still working on developing my table-reading skills, I think betting the flop here is the best line (for me at least) because it makes subsequent decisions easy:
If I bet the flop and get called, I push the turn. If I bet the flop and get raised, I'm pushing and hoping not to see K/Q. Basically, I bet the flop because I don't want to face an ugly turn that will make me shut down (like an ace or a club that might make me want to check it again - typical weak play, but like I said, I'm pretty bad post-flop).

I know, there's a leak in my argument: what happens if your flop bet is called and a club or ace comes on the turn - well, I'm not sure. I probably push, and hope not to show it down.
