    I'd lean towrds checking here. Possible holdings for villain here are either a flush draw, a missed big ace that couldnt get away on the flop with no pair no draw or a pocket pair, that thinks you just c-bet the flop. The only hand we really dont want to give a free card is the flush draw. If you bet out/shove you only get called by hands that beat you (Ax, 77, 22) everything else will most probably fold. A hand like 99 which I could see villain having here will give up in the face of an ace.

    I check here too. Pretty much any bet here will commit you and I'm honestly not that worried about giving a free card here because we may already be way behind, and if we're way ahead (if opp has 7x) I think opp checks behind meaning we have a good chance of getting a free showdown.

    flop bet size is bad, bet more then you can just shove the turn or river if you decide too. I guess you can still shove but it makes a lot more sense to bet the flop PS then 2/3 PS on turn than 2/3 PS and then PS, especailly with the draw.

    I think his range is so heavy toward PPs that you basically have to check here because he must be hating the A.
