Looks good, although I might bet the flop just in case he has QQ or TT and I don't wanna give him a 4th card for free.

Why check the flop? Do you think Villain is folding AK on that flop? As played i dont mind the fold on the turn, though i like pushing the flop better. You got 9/25 in preflop which means hes not making money here long run so i dont mind paying him off on the flop if he hit. Giving an additional free card on the flop and basically giving up on the hand is bad, IMO. I hope you weren't going to fold to a turn blank.

Nice laydown. Might be arguments for betting this flop, but I think it is close.

push flop...70 hands don't mean much.

I push this flop after a check...

So we automatically assign villian to KK-JJ. Seems a bit weak tight. AK is more likely. At least get in there and find out.
