A high value bet
 

I never know when to make a value bet with A high. I almost never do. Did this look like a good spot? Villain is 50/9/1.

I think this is very poor. I take the showdown just about every time here.

Looks good to me.

UTG's range may be a little too narrow this time, but this is a good spot for it sure. in general, most A-high value bets come when youre in a steal situation against a blind.

he is passive enough to have an overpair here. so no its not a good spot for a value bet, but he might fold AK.

i still take the free showdown.

I do not believe he is passive enough to have an overpair. I was fairly certain he would c/r the flop or turn with one (probably flop).

I would definitely bet this. No way he's folding an ace on this board.
