FPS or clever play?

Figured betting the turn would only cause the K/Q-highs to drop out, seeing as how any other aces behind me would likely raise. Thoughts?

Sorry, it's at 3/6 (I'm assuming that pushes the decision to a bet)

i dont mind this check for the same reasons as you described.

I don't like it. There are way too many hands you have beat that call here, having the turn checked through is a disaster.

yup. I like your line of reasoning, but there are to many other people in this hand, and given the PF action, its entirely possible they have a pocket pair, and I think at this limit they will call (and some will call with just K hugh), and you miss too many bets by checking.

Yea I like the thinking, but you have 3 people that went along for the ride on the flop, chances are you'll get at least one person who's going to pay you and the other ace out there a bet each.

I think you must bet at 3/6 because 1 or 2 players probably call. The pot was CAPPED preflop, they often dont give it up for one bet even if its looks pretty bad.
In a small pot I like your play, here I dont.
