Yeah I agree on betting the flop here. While the flop is dry enough that we don't need to protect so badly, the pot is fairly large, and we can still make our opponents commit FTOP errors by (1) folding the flop with an ace or (2) calling the flop without one.

To clarify the river, I think b/f is probably best the way hero played the hand. But if villain had raised preflop and Hero had 3-bet, I like c/c better. My point was just that when you get to the river, don't just follow a line because you saw someone else do it, figure out why a particular line is best.

I agree completely Jake. Very well put. I think we are both getting at the same point here, which is that some people are approaching this hand from the "way-ahead-way-behind-is-cool-let's-try-it" point of view, and hence approaching this hand to formulaically.
