i definitely do the same. lately, i've been wondering: with both an A and a T on board, it seems like our chances of moving him off his hand are pretty reduced. like, i feel that we'd take it down on the turn a bunch if the flop was all rags with two diamonds. but on this board.. not so much. eh. i'm going to keep c/ring anyway =P

i wish it were A84 instead of AT4. he's basically going to peel with all his broadway cards (KQ/KJ/QJ), and he'll certainly call down with KT/QT/JT. in other words im sad to see a J/Q/K turn and i don't know if leading on these cards is the best idea. but i think the flop is still good because he will have to fold on a majority of turn cards.

I sometimes alternate the c/r line with a bet/3-bet on the flop (lead turn if he doesn't cap the flop). I'm also a bit over aggro sometimes.

(Edit: because sometimes I leave words out too)

Do you checkraise the flop with an A here??

Checkraising here seems so FOS to me, but the alternatives aren't very good either.

How about this line: c/r flop, cc turn, lead river if turn is checked through?

This prevents Aces from raising us on the turn while still giving us a chance to win the pot for just one more bet.
