=================

New to the table so no reads yet.

Is the check here ok?

I'm not sure what they would call that flop with.
And I'm not sure if they would call another turn bet with a worse hand.
But I am trying to induce a river bluff from a hand that I can beat.

I intend on calling a river bet with my Aces Up.
And I would probably overcall as well in hopes that BB was loose.

Please Advise.

Checking here is ok. I'd rather bet though against a bunch of LPs who will show down any pocket pair, or chase a gutshot here. Just noticed the flush draw too, so we miss too much value by checking.

Bet. Anyone will call with a pocket pair, flush draw, or 4. You miss too much value by not betting this turn.
