    I misclicked pre-flop raise
    What do you guys think about the check/call line in this spot given that our kicker is so weak to bet this board for value (i know that in this board we can get value by Jx, and fd) but sometimes we are gonna end up value betting ourself, getting call by better aces (we open UTG, and CO flat). Or is it better bet flop, c/c turn, and evaluate river ?
    What is the best line in this spot ?

    Nothing to criticize here. You made it to showdown cheaply in a likely situation of kicker wars. It's tempting to look for a fancier line, but it's unlikely you'd gain much, and the risk of having the hand explode on you would go up.

    Sometimes making it to the final table hinges on getting through these kinds of hands with as little damage as possible. That way you've still got a serious stack when a better and more complicated opportunity presents itself.

    I don't see anything wrong with the line, although I don't think it's that much worse than a c-bet flop, c/c turn, evaluate river approach.

    We do want some Ax hands that we can check/call multiple streets with and I think A9 and AJ make sense as checks on the flop.

    PF open is a bit loose but postflop looks fine. Fold to a river bet.

    Not the easiest hand to play from EP with that stack size. I think this is the worst hand I'd be opening on UTG+2 with given situation.

    Other than that, I think you played it pretty well.
