this is my line probably close to 95% of the time.

Does everyone who says to wait until the turn here do the same with AK?

I hope so. I'm not sure what line I like, I think I tend to raise the flop a lot here though.

Raising the flop is what I do most of the time. I think you'll find people more likely to call you down with a lower pair if you raise the flop, and also more likely to 3-bet you on the flop with a hand like AJ-AK.

If you wait until the turn every time, or even most of the time, I think you let the big pocket pairs off way too easily. This is especially true if you'll often raise less than top pair on the flop.

If he's passive, wait to raise the turn, his range for 3betting flop hands will go down significantly.

If he's aggresive and will tend to bet-3bet hands on the flop then clearly raising the flop is better.

Good points. Another reason why I prefer these lines is that, strangely passives tend to continuation bet more often than aggressives in a spot like this.

i like the turn better for two reasons,
the bet is bigger which equals more money, and if he does infact have a high ace, and his kicker doesnt connt, and it gets capped bigger pot.
