Re: A4s, no position
PM,
I think your line is decent.
The problem is that you have not really forced your opponent to define his hand. If I decided to call the flop bet (which I wont always), I'll definitely lead this turn. Check-call lead turn is a very strong line and will force your opponent to define his hand further. If he just calls, then I vote for a river check-call or maybe a small blocking bet just in case he'll look u up with a king.
You'll find these hands easier to play if you exercise some sort of pot control. Leading the turn is good because you can really give a draw a bad price and you can also really see how much your opponent likes his hand.
The flop call is a bit shady as well given your read of the opponent, but its not the most interesting part of this hand (the turn is imo).
The more I think about it, the more I think your line isnt bad but I think a turn lead makes the hand easier to play.
