AK hits TPTK on dry board, how is this line? (25NL)

[taipan168]

Opp's stats are 38/0/1.0 over 34 hands. Is this fine or is calling the flop bet a better line? Did I raise too much or the right amount?

I like it. Miffed: why your line?

I hate Taipans line. I just c/c, c/c, bet river. As an alternative, I don't mind check/minraising here if you want to raise because you want to keep your opponent in the pot. I'd bet weak on the turn as well. Probably $4 on the turn and put him in for $4.xx on the river. Just keep pricing him in. Granted that line isn't great but it's hard for people to fold strong hands to weak bets.

Because raising the flop gives away our hand, makes worse hands fold and better hands call, thereby allowing our opponent to play perfect poker?

Calling the flop and betting the turn would seemingly do the same thing.

Why are you turning TPTK into a bluff.

we lose the least and win the most. We also convince worse hands to take a shot at it. And as someone else noted, we dont want to turn tptk into a bluff by raising.
