A place that I don't think I can ever (correctly) fold in

Ahzran,

I think you right about the idea that I am never going to fold this pot to one bet on the end and should proably end up being calculated into my decision on whether to call or fold the turn, because getting 6.5-1, this is an easy easy fold.

Hey downunder, which part of sydney, you post on PNW?

I check call turn and river, your probably beat but you want to get to show down as cheap as possible

[oreogod]

Oh well...either way, Im still calling the flop raise and CRing the turn.

I would check the flop here FWIW. Not saying that it is right, but it is what I would do.

With no obvious source of a bet that I can identify I think that a flop lead is the best play here from a value standpoint. Letting this get checked through would be pretty lame. We will often be raised here as well and given pre-flop action we are not likely to be up against a better A, so flop raises will often be coming from weaker As.

I don't find a fold here either given the counterfeit potential.

I think your line is a mistake. With this board, I think you want to make sure the weak aces and the draws to straights either pay as much as possible or fold on the flop. Don't let them catch up for a correct price on their draw. If they are going to call anyway, they might as well overpay.
