I F@$%#n Suck At Poker - Aggr. Betting

I like a check-call here. There's no straight or flush possibility here with a board of A-K-4-4-9. I would put Villian on one of the following 3 hands:

1. Busted straight draw. Though perhaps far-fetched, a lot of players like to chase Broadway gutshots, so Q-J, J-T, or Q-T are all possibilities. If you check, he may try to bluff at the pot, whereas if you bet out, he's not going to call with his busted draw.

2. A-x. If Villian has an Ace, he's not going to fold, and would perhaps raise, as he's got Aces up with the King kicker on board. If Villian has you beat like this, why give him the chance to raise you, causing you to either (1) pay 2 BBs to see his hand; or (2) fold to his raise and wonder what he has?

3. K-x. If Villian only has Kings-up with the Ace kicker, you chop the pot with Villian.
