Does the 4 mean we can assume he bets the river?

EDIT: Also, I think leading the turn is a pretty good line.

I would have capped preflop and led the flop.

Really you've got to hope he has that last ace, because if he has anything else you're not getting very much action regardless. I like your line given that you didn't cap preflop.

I'm thinking most tags (at this level?) call down this turn checkraise with any hand they're going to call a turn bet with, but they'll bet some hands that they would've folded to a bet if you check to them.

Am I wrong?

The idea is that if he may check behind with KK or QQ or whatever hand he may have sans ace, I'd rather take the chance that he has an AK/AQ kinda hand that he could raise the turn with so that we can 3 bet. He's almost certainly calling down with those hands anyway, so its not like you're losing anything those times.
