$16 - TP(A) what line is best?

[mattiesmat]

I am too lazy to look for the stats and the sample size was probably small anyway, but what would you do here? b/f, c/c, c/f and why?

I lead out with 70-80 and fold to any aggression.

yep, b/f seems good, playing a big pot is bad here. c/c is the best value I think on this street, but then you have to guess and I think you'll make more and bigger mistakes on the turn/river vs the smallish mistake of folding if he happens to semi bluff you here.

The problem with c/c is that villian could have an ace with a better kicker, but could also have a T and see your c/c as weak, assume you wouldnt check the BB with an A, and so keep betting. The only way to find out would be to call him down which is a great way to lose money if you're behind all the way. B/F at least tells you villian is happy enough with his hand to keep betting it against strength which is enough for us to let it go.

This might be one of my biggest leaks I can think of.
Given that you lead with 80 on the flop, what would your action be on the turn if flat called?
Would you still play your ace for pair value or slow down? With this size bet he villian could also call with a small ace or even flush draw.
Would it be correct in thinking, if called, the best ev play is to c/f turn?

[drmcboy]

I'm checking any turn except a three and only calling a smallish, say 1/4 PS bet.
I might even fold to that if turn is a spade.

I would typically b/f here, particularly with the flush draw out there. If opp semi-bluffs me with a raise, then good for him.
