^ Thanks for your comments.
Would shoving scare off Villain more then flatting? I am not worried about him having an A here and don't really like shoving to fold out an A(K/Q). If I shove does this make my hand more face up and my range narrower then if I flat call?
I am not disagreeing and believe shoving given Hero's stack pre-flop would have been most optimal. Unfortunately Hero probably over-thought this hand and wanted to try some "Fancy Play" deciding that shoving can make this aggro Villain release too easily hands that Hero dominates. (AK/Q,QQ,JJ,TT).
Fishy thinking?
Hand conclusion...
Hero tanks a bit and decides to flat with a plan to check any low flop and one with no A.

Hero checks expecting a C-bet from an aggressive Villain?
Villain hesitantly/worryingly checks.
Turn ($131)

Hero now overkills the hand and checks again hopping for an A or Q OTR.
Fishy?
Villain checks back.

Hero bets out $65. Villain quickly calls.
Hero shows, Villain mucks without much facial expression.
Appreciate any comments on my train of thought for an actual "As played" scenario given this board run-out and post flop play specifically if Villain had QQ for example...
