Default Re: a common situation i may be misplaying

As Deranged noted, You can raise preflop with this, as most 3-6 players will call you with worse hands. It may have made the hand much easier to play postflop.

Given that you didn't raise preflop, your hand is somewhat disguised, but you can't be overly confident in your kicker.

So call down the turn bet and bet the river if checked to.

Raising the turn is not necessary, and opens us up to being 3 bet. Just call it down, as boring as that sounds. A better ace is not folding on this junky board.

And, I think you probably knew that you played it fine postflop before you posted it, but just felt dirty because you called down. Sometimes it's the right play, though.
