KK on A high flop, turned 4 flush

Half pot is a standard size for this situation, whether we have Ax or not. It doesn't tell the opponent anything.

I don't think a check here is necessarily "weak" we would often check an ace. I would typically check and call depending on his size, we can have the best hand and we have 11 reliable outs.

I think betting the turn is fine as well, its a good way to prevent being bluffed and its extremely unlikely that villain shoves. I think betting the turn is good in isolation and I don't think shoving the river is mandatory when called, but it might be best to shove the river depending on your reads.

Interesting.... I'll keep this in mind. Thanks
