    Default Anybody checking or betting smaller here?

    BB is 21/15/4 - 282 hands

    Anyone betting less here to induce a jam over the top, or checking hoping he betts like JJ QQ on the turn or possibly bluff AK?

    Nah, I don't think you can induce anything here, I just bet and hope he calls it off with worse.

    There's a pot-sized bet behind when you get to the flop, right? You could bet smaller or even check it back. Jamming is fine too. If he has a big ace which is def a possibility given preflop it would be nice to let him bluff at it. It would suck if an A came off. You could try to induce with a 1/3 pot bet or something like that. But jamming a psb otf with an overpair is certainly not bad.

    I'm betting like 0.65 here for sure.

    Jamming to protect ourselves from a 4-outer ace is silly. Sure it might kill some of our action or give him the best hand, but that is 8% of the time.

    If he calls with an ace here, something like AQ/AJ to a small bet that also means 8% of the time he's making the second best hand likely.
