5/10: Few hands, line check.

[pocketfours]

I really feel like Betting the flop on hand 1 is vastly superior to any other line.

Funny that nobody else as had any thoughts about this. I think I decided to c/c flop because I felt like the fact that he made it 4x pre made it more likely that he will play this flop aggressively when I show weakness.

Hand 2: I feel like c/r the flop is slightly better than leading unless you're leading these types of flops a lot...

I almost never lead and I almost never c/r this board. I decided to lead because villain made such a small raise pre, which I thought probably makes him less prone to cbetting his ace high type hands and even air on this board. Whether that's a good argument for leading with the nuts is debatable, but I really didn't want this flop to be checked through.

I think everyone would say that betting the flop is better in hand 1 and is standard, so nobody is gonna really comment on that when you're clearly intentionally just taking a non-standard line some minority of the time.

Unless c/c is standard for you here?...

No of course not.

I get what your saying, you think he's gonna put you on JJ or TT and start bluffing. The problem is once you c/c two streets (if not one) its gonna look like you have this and not JJ. And i feel like your hand will do well if you bet/bet/shove

Not really. More than that I want him to start betting his weaker top pairs aggressively until he commits himself.
