How often do you check the flop here?

[/ QUOTE ]

rarely ever. something just didnt feel right on this flop. maybe i was going to get checkraise bluffed i dont know. i didnt think anyone would fold to my flop bet and i would have trouble bringing ace high to the showdown if the board doesnt pair on the turn. once it does and the SB bets and the BB folds, i think my hand is very often good.

a better ace might also fold to a raise, but im not sure if its worth it for me to make the raise because folding out a 6outter when he will follow through bluffing on the river is -ev. also, the possibility of getting 3 bet when i have a 3 outter or the possibility that villain donkbets the river also make me think calling down might be more appropriate. there are also times when a better ace calls my turn raise, but will check to me on the river saving me a BB.

any thoughts on this?
