2/3 NL.
I've been at the table for about 10 minutes.
V1 (covers): Middle-aged white guy. Nothing much of note in the few minutes that I've been at the table. Although it's 9:30 a.m. and he's drinking a beer.
v2 ($175): Middle-aged Asian guy. No real reads.
Hero ($275): Sexy beyond belief, yet with a delightful personality.
I hadn't played many hands since I sat down. 40-year-old in t-shirt and jeans.
OTTH
4 limps to hero on the BB with A
A
. Hero makes it $20. V2 limp/calls in MP and V1 limp/calls from the cutoff. All others fold.
Flop (~$60): J
24
Hero checks, V2 bets $20, V1 makes it $100.
Hero?

Grunch: id really like to see a cbet here OTF doesn't have to be big as you hold the Ac size around $30-$35.
AP the Ac is now actually an extremely bad card to hold, it blocks a very large portion of either Vs bluff range I think if you checked and action goes like this you're up against 22/44 playing scared and if you did check you need to fold this
if you didn't hold the Ac blocker I'd put the money in the middle
AP sigh fold

, they also don't have a lot of draws that I need to protect against. It's hard to be called by less and I don't mind letting villains catch up. I didn't see betting accomplishing much, since there aren't a lot of second-best hands that can call. And it's live poker, so I'm not worried about balancing my cbet range.
But I see a lot of people are saying that I should cbet the flop. I'm open to that. What's the best reason to cbet here?

My thoughts on checking the flop were as follows. Villains don't have a lot of 2s and 4s, and they're probably betting their jacks for me. Because I have the A, they also don't have a lot of draws that I need to protect against.

Cbetting your huge hands, your decent hands and some bluffs is just gonna be the most profitable approach overall. You start checking AA and you are playing more like the rec players. Playing like the rec players but with a little more knowledge is a recipe for barely beating the rake.
