I think many people on this forum bet too much whenever a FD is on the board because they're afraid and/or don't want to face a tough decision later, but we have to look at how much a FD is in our Vs' ranges. If you make the 4 a diamond instead of the ace, I'd agree much more with the folks who wanted to size the flop way up.

Around 55% of the pot is standard here but it's not useful to look at this hand in a vacuum because we probably want to c-bet this flop with hands that have zero showdown value
probably not useful advice at these stakes, after all, we did have one player calling 3 streets with A4o but we can normally just shut down when called in two spots and keep firing when called by one when the flush draw whiffs out
our hand kind of doesn't matter on the flop coz i think we should cbet a huge % of the time, limp callers usually have underpairs and suited cards, not Ax. they usually have Kx more often than Ax and Kx can be blown off with 2 bets usually
good fold on the river, i think it's mostly a toss up between folding and calling, i tend to get sticky on the river because i'm a bit of a station but folding is definitely fine on the river
but I absolutely hate betting the turn, they just about always have a flush draw when called in 2 spots, so betting with 4 outs is just burning money
