Id like to use this hand as an example of a problem area i think i have. the problem is with scary boards and playing too passive or overy agressive. heres the hand...

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP2 calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, CO calls, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, BB calls.

Flop: (8.40 SB) 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, MP2 calls, CO calls, BB folds.
--- this is where i am uncertain of the play... should i check hoping that someonewill bet their draw or bet their Ax and then i can re-raise or do i bet out to give the insight str8 draws worse pot odds right away?
