Default Re: extracting value?

I hate 75$ bet.
I would pot it or check depends on the mood. Most ppl thinks small bet = trapping.

I don't hate the $75 bet at all. If OP's read is good, that bet invites Villain to make a mistake in calling, offering ~8:1 implied. And Villain may think: a chance I'm good, and a chance I can spike if not. So he may well call.

My default would be to pot it -- standard lead -- but I think this is poor here. You fold everyone but the weaker A and hands that beat you; the pairs won't play. It lets most hands play perfectly against you. You should make the play that invites the most mistakes, and here I think it's value bets all the way down.
