I feel playing hands like this is a leak for me; I never have any idea where I stand. With the line I took here, I think that while there's a good chance villain had an ace, any smart player would look at my check, put me on exactly what I have, and blow me out with any two. In short, I hate my line. What's a better way to play hands like this?
Party NL $50, I'm 4-tabling, villain is 55/22/2.9. I've been playing TAG and won a big pot with a straight flush the hand before this.
