    Default 100NL - Top set, best way to take the money?

    Villain was 19/13 and had been seen making a few weird (or possbly donkish) plays.

    After the flop call, I figured AA/KK/AQ/JJ/TT (he really seemed like the type of player who would love to trap with the overpair). Turn check didn't change my mind but now i'm thinking how best to get the money in. If he has AA/KK I'm getting his money regardless how I play, if he has JJ/TT the only way to get money from him is to check turn, bet river, and as for AQ, I'm not sure the best way to get his money there, but he'd likely play it for a bet/call on the river.

    Good line?

    P.S. Does giving him a free card need to come into consideration?

    mmmmmk I'll do that in future. But i'm wondering why everyone says to bet more on flop? 2/3 is about my usual.

    flop bet size is fine. its a 3bet pot, we dont need to be betting as large a percentage of the pot in most of them

    Yeah I agree with wufwugy that the flop bet sizing is fine. As for the turn, if he was calling $20 to win $50 then he'll probably call $45 to win $110 or whatever it is on the turn after your bet, so I don't really see any need to check behind on the turn.
